I have 500 recently planted bare root Liriope plants and 3500 established (one to four year old) Liriope plants. I also have a large number of Ajuga (Burgundy Glow I think) plants that have no spaces between the plants (except for multiple types of weeds!). Please recommend pre-emergent and post-emergent products that can be applied over these plants that will help minimize weeds without harming the Liriope and Ajuga. Thank you!!
Snapshot 2.5 TG is one of our most popular pre-emergent herbicides for use around ornamentals and ground covers, and several types of liriope are listed as tolerant on the product label. These plants would need to be established before applying the Snapshot or most other pre-emergent herbicides. A popular post-emergent for use around liriope is Fusilade II Herbicide, which will target grassy weeds. Always read the product label before purchasing and applying herbicides to ensure that it will fit your needs.
