Q:
Is Meadow Phlox less susceptible to Scarlet Phlox Bug than Garden Phlox? I'm afraid I've decided to give up on the latter species due to heavy infestations. I haven't noticed that Scarlet Phlox Bugs have caused any damage any of the smaller Phlox species that I grow.

A:
I doubt that it is less susceptible, but don't know for sure. I only became aware of the phlox bug this year as it destroyed a bed of garden phlox. They apparently overwinter in the dead stems, so removing and destroying all phlox plant material will help keep them from returning next year.
