Re: REB: Belvi Queen

 

Jan  --  When weeds that can't be pulled --  i.e., certain ground covers that spread by underground runners, including, even, bamboo  --  invade an iris bed, I pour maximum strength Roundup into a small container like a baby food jar, then use an artist's paint brush to apply the Roundup directly to the plant leaves.  It works beautifully on the ground covers, but takes more than one application on the bamboo.  --  Griff

Linda, Going back to last week, you said  "With the magic of Roundup, a few rebloomers are appearing..."  How do you use Roundup around the irises without getting those strange flowers.  My neighbor used it a few years ago and I had some terrible blooms on the plants near his field. 

I ask because I have a terrible crabgrass problem in one of my iris beds.  No matter how much I dig, some still escapes me and it comes back in full attack.

Thanks, Jan in Chatsworth

With the magic of Roundup, a few rebloomers are appearing...

This one is such a tough, reliable old thing, it surprises me no
descendants are registered. Not very fertile? Ugly ugly children?
