I love phlox, and have never had any get mildew (hope I won't regret
saying it); I'm in zone 5ish, in the mountains, with a lot of macro
weather;
I have one phlox that I transplanted from our old house to this one,
about six years ago; it's in the sun, where it looks deep pink, but
after the sun goes down, it looks light purple; both colors are
luminous; this plant has actually seeded itself nearby, for which I am
so grateful; I have other phlox that is growing in a large clump in one
place, and which sent out another plant, very full, about 20 feet away!
this year I ordered Starfire from WFF, and they are blooming now, and
very nice they are too.
