The last couple of years, my phloxes have suffered a bit with random problems. I think there may have been some spider mites (not 100% sure) and I've seen a variety of symptoms - leaf damage, leaf curl, etc. There are probably at least 10 different phloxes in my flowerbed and all have had different afflictions to varying degrees...It is not summer yet, when things get crazy hot in Texas, and it is difficult to treat problems - I am trying to be proactive!
I try to avoid systemic pesticides, as to not harm beneficials, but I would be willing to go as far as necessary to save my flower-babies! I love blooms!
Thanks in advance for any help!

I found a couple more pictures - will add in a reply...
