I can't get rid of the mildew on these and it's so abundant. First tried a soap and water spray. Seemed to work but then came back. Tried neem oil+soap+water spray. Hasn't made a dent, its gotten worse and now the mildew is grey/darkening?!

They're blooming nicely but I worry it could travel to my other plants or hurt the phlox long term.

I'm in 7b and its rained a lot this season so I don't often water this part of my garden.

Suggestions for a new gardener? TIA!

Ouch. I didn't know how stiff the little echinacea are! Do I have a cone war on my hands? Who do I root for?

Was moving a couple stone patio slabs/tiles and these were under one of them. They are slightly smaller than a pea. I didn't touch them so I dont know their consistency. Found in 7b
