Phlox
2 Answers
My phlox seems to be dying off at an alarming rate. They are planted near a stone wall and looked quite beautiful when they cascaded over the wall. Now, however too few have survived. My question is could the road salt from winter's snow be a culprit? If so, how can I protect this rather costly investment?

You coud try some plants that do well in coastal areas, that may cope well with salt. Ivy leaved toadflax is pretty and should grow well on your stone wall. Good Luck.
