This is Pirl's thread. Maybe she'll come along and start one.

GE, I have my Phlox David planted along side Phlox Starfire. This year I decided to add some blue Phlox. The blue Phlox brought mildew into the bed and it spread to the other two, which never had it before. It also could be that the humidity was so high this summer.

Someone told me to spray the blue with baking soda & water. I did, but I must have used too much baking soda as it immediately wilted the foliage and I lost the blue bloom this year. Luckily, the plants survived.
