Yes. And I wish mine didn't get spider mites! Anybody know how to deal with those? I notice that they are also afflicting all the ground ivy in my lawn. Not that I care about the ground ivy, just that if I spray the phlox and don't spray the lawn, the mites will probably just move on into the phlox again. :thumbdown:
We always controlled spider mites with dawn dish soap. Squirting a bit in a fertilizer sprayer, finish filling it with water, then water the plants with it.
