White mold on Phlox

Any remedies for white powdery mold on my my moms Phlox. It is on most all of them in front and back of house. It doesn't seem to be on the surrounding plants. The only thing I find is better air circulation and resistant varieties.

Fungicides work well as a preventative. The othe stuff to mentioned may help, too!
