Phlox paniculata

  Q    
My phlox plants get covered with white mildew just as they come into flower, what can I do to prevent this?
       
  A    

Dryness at the roots is to blame for the mildew on phlox, so plenty of watering and mulching of the soil with organic matter will

help.

 

When the disease appears, spray with a systemic fungicide.
