I don't know, but i found a link that might be of help...here is an excerpt from the webpage.

"Cercospora leaf spots have been reported occasionally on Dahlia hybrids, poinsettia, Lisianthus, Gardenia augusta , Gerbera jamesonii (African daisy), hibiscus, pansy, Kalanchoe, Verbena, and Florist's geranium. Leaf lesions first appear as light green sunken spots which turn gray, then darken with the production of spores, and appear to be raised in the center. Lesions may coalesce into V-shaped necrotic areas which may be confused with bacterial blight. Heavily infected leaves may fall off. Check plugs carefully for signs of infection."

Some of mine did that last year - I put it down to some sort of fungal infection due to getting too wet and damp. I didn't treat them with anything, and they eventually rotted and gave up the ghost.

Sorry I can't offer any useful advice, but won't you be pulling them out to put in summer bedding in the next month or so anyway?
