I have a few Garden areas for flowers. I have bulb area that has Daffodils, Lily, Iris, Hyacinths. I also have many Perennials throughout my various Garden areas. I am hoping something will kill grass and weeds but not harm my flowers.
We do carry a few products that can be used in flower beds, gardens, and around trees and shrubs that kills a variety of grass and grassy weeds. Fertilome Over The Top Grass Killer mixed with a Non Ionic Surfactant would be a great selective herbicide that can be used as a post emergent to kill actively growing weeds. However, we strongly recommend you identify the weeds you are having issues with before selecting a product as most products only work for the weeds and/or grass they list on their product labels. You can contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff if you need help identifying weeds. The master gardener can also tell you what type of herbicide will work best in your region right now (pre or post emergent) and won't damage your ornamental plants. Always be sure to read the product label of the product you select before purchasing to make sure the weeds you are trying to eliminate are listed and the ornamental plants you have are listed as a species that is tolerant to the herbicide. All product labels (for the products we carry) can be found on the individual product pages under the pictures of the product.
