Plant will get back to normal in time. If it was an overspray, it may
even recover on later flowers on bloomstalk.

If it is excessive chemicals (fertilizer), dig out dirt where
fertilizer is, replace soil and water heavily.

I use chemical fertilizer to kill dandelions and thistles. I put a
small handful in middle of the offending plant. It disappears over a
few weeks. then I scatter what is left of fertilizer. It takes a good
sized clump to do damage. So more likely spray drift.Over spray damage
never carries over to next year.

I found the tag under one of the rhizomes. It is supposed to be Summer
Green Shadows. I told hubby what you said and he told me he may have
gotten fertilizer for the mountain laurels too close or the weed killer
on the drive too close to the edge. (He isn't supposed to get close to
the sides with that!)
Sooooo....I guess we now have a picture of what SGS looks like from
chemicals in the ground!
I am just amazed that the irises right next to it aren't damaged. They
are so close together I have to thin them this fall!
So, what do I do now? Any way to get it to revert back???

I've also seen this sort of thing from fertilizer burn. Too much
chemical fertilizer next to rhizome.
Possible chemical drift from neighbors..

Or if a brand new plant, had exposure to chemical before you got it.

Never seen this without it being some sort of chemical damage.

See if later flowers open normally

It looks like a chemical damaged flower. Round up can do this sort of
damage.
