I would like to try it. My front bed is so grassy I can see only the irises on the very edges. Nothing has bloomed for years. Once I decide where the bed is and isn't I'm going to spray the heck out of it. Thanks!!

Yes only grass, but I would recommend it over roundup. My aim is not as good 
as my optimism.  I have deformed plenty of bloom in my day.


Stinger is
really good for thistles and clover too.  It didn't kill the grass here
though. Maybe it hasn't been warm enough here to tell though. No heatwave in 
the NW.

I've also been told Envoy works on grass and is safe for irises. I
haven't tried it yet though.

I believe
the Grass B Gone only kills grass don't think it gets  weeds too
does it?.

Peggy,

I have also used Ortho Grass B
Gon  which I have  found at Lowe's and
other stores similar.   I have only
applied  it over irises though.  If you
hvae a mixedbed, you may want to
check  the label.  I never saw any damage
to
the irises.  It works the  best
in early spring.

Best of luck to  you,

Culture-weed killer that does not  kill iris
Is there a good weed killer that
you can use on iris that  kills grass and
weed around iris, but not the iris?
Thanks, Peggy  Harger-Allen
