Purple Winter Creep Leaves Are Turning Yellow

Question From: B. Christensen - ILLINOIS
Q: My purple winter creep is turning yellow then brown. There are no visible marks on the leaves such as bugs or spots etc. the leaves just are slowing turning from green to yellow to brown. Please help

A: My guess is lack of water. Though the weather was cooler in June July and August, there was little rainfall. Give it a g good drink and make sure the soil stays moist going into wiinter. Do not fertilize until late winter or very early spring. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
