I have used Roundup for several years right in and next to my iris
with never any problem. BUT, I don't spray, I brush it on. I use a
small disposable foam brush, because there is no splashing with them.
A little brush on one or two leaves of the weeds is usually the kiss
of death, and as long as I don't touch the iris, no problem. This is
especially useful for me because neighbors on two sides--naturally,
the north and west, the directions from which prevailing winds blow--
don't control their dandelions at all. So I find that Roundup
applied in this careful way lets me clean out the iris beds, the only
way I know to get rid of dandelions & similar weeds.
