Starlight is one of my favorite phlox-I never have a mildew problem with it
but I live in a fairly dry climate and it is down breeze from a rose bush
that I sometimes treat with sulphur for blackspot.
Georgia Blue is a nice veronica but I miss the long flower spikes.
I grow a prostrate variety of V austraica (at least that's what the label
said) that has been reliable and disease free for the last five years for
me, and is a heavy bloomer. It also forms a thick enough mat to choke out
most weeds.
