Flower Question

Does anyone know if there is something that will kill the weeds but not kill the flowers? Since I hurt my back, I cannot weed now...but I can hose down the flowers...So I was wondering if there was something made that you can spray on the flowers, and kill the weeds, but not harm the flowers.
Thanks,
Scott

You can use round up in a small spray bottle and individually spray each weed.

Re: Flower Question

I buy this stuff at Lowes...it's a three phase weed killer. I think it's called Spectracide. Anyway, it comes in a Windex type bottle and you saturate the weed with it and the weed dies in 24 hours, then the root is killed in ten days or so. I haven't used it in my flower beds, only cuz I am afraid of killing the flowers, but it works great in the rocks, cracks and curb strip.

I really don't like to use poisons. Did you put mulch down? That will cut back tremendously on the weeds. (Make it a thick layer)

Re: Flower Question

We had mulch down but when we got termites we removed it.

Maybe have a landscaper weed for you and then put the Preen down. We haven't gotten weeds since using Preen.Chat Icon
