garden phlox

nancyBinCC
17 years ago

I have generic garden phlox.. It is wilting badly, turning brown and I assume it is dying.. Established plant, mulched and has been watered.. No digging near it..

any ideas as to what is happening?

do I need to dig it up in case this is a fungus or ??? that might spread to other plants?

thanks in advance,

nancy b
