Red twig dogwoods in humid zone 7?

(Apologies to those Virginians who also see this in the Virginia forum.)

How has redtwig dogwood done for any of you whose Florida dogwoods get anthracnose or powdery mildew? I'd love to put in redtwigs for some clients, but don't want to go down that path if they're going to contract fungus. Our part of the state is full of mildewed phlox and anthracnose-laden trees, but redtwigs are not as common; I haven't seen many landscape specimens. They sometimes look pathetic at nurseries, but I don't know if that's due to the overhead watering, or if it's just endemic in the area. Any first-hand experiences?

Thanks!!

Julia
