I just planted this in July. It is spreading well, but appears to be having a mildew problem. How do I stop the mildew? Also I am not sure if I need to trim this down in the winter.

Hot pink monarda! New selection has a habit similar to 'Marshall's Delight' and has fairly good mildew resistance. Uniform growth. 36-42" tall by 42-48". Used as a cut flower; attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

In my zone 5 garden it has been an evergreen.
