Dorothy,
If your clumps are old, you might try dividing them. Otherwise, I think I
would wring their necks and buy a different variety. Look for mildew
resistence, though this year with the wet spring and now the humidity, even
such phlox as P.'David' are absolutely covered with powdery mildew! I
thinned my phlox out early in the season, have sprayed with both Rose
Defense (good for a multitude of afflictions) as well as sulphur. These
poor plants are almost totally gray! Will cut back the foliage and the new
foliage should be just fine.
Good luck.
Ginny
