I have been using it for years on Hosta. I don't even worry if some are
starting to "come through" Never bothers them. I have, however, seen a
lot of damage to daylilies. I usuall spray in early April, to get as many
of the weeds as I can. this causes many little seeds to sprout, so I leave
time for a followup 10 to 12 days later. this can be at a reduced
strength. for the daylilies, it works well to take some "one and two
gallon " pots, and place them over the daylilies. Hope this helps
