Professional Growing Information I bought three of Opalescence Phlox summer this year. They were so pretty even when the flowers were starting to fade/drop but I got them because Phlox is known for mildew issues and this cultivar boasted most resistance to mildew. However, by end of summer, leaves of the 3 plants started to curl up, brown and drop, now even the stems are turning brown. I did not save my receipt (thinking PW plants are usually good quality) so I cannot return them for a refund. My garden bed is on drip irrigation and all the other plants are doing great except for this phlox. Hoping PW can send me a replacement (maybe I just got a bad batch?) since I cannot return them To the store for a refund/credit. So very disappointed.
