Is this Southern blight that has gotten my Blackfoot Daisies? I had the same problem in the same spot last year with my coreopsis. The same ugliness has taken over a part of my mums in another part of my garden.

What can be done?

It's a mold or fungus that flowers get because there are too many leaves at the bottom of the plant (that prevents air from getting through the plant, and when air can't get through the plant very well it will start to get moldy or fungus). Spray the insides near the bottom of your flowers with a fungal spray like Garden Safe 3 or Fungicide 3.
And maybe pick off some leaves in the middle and at the bottom of your bushy flowers so air can get through them more. Oh, and try not to water the flowers at night time.
