I don't want grass in my flower beds either, esp. Zoysia.  
However, have any of you tried any of the grass killers on the market?
Last summer I tried one by Acme.
Thought it did a goof job on the grass and didn't seem to damage any Roses or 
perennials.  There are a couple other brands, more expensive, of course. I am 
wondering if they would be any better especially on wildflower gardens which 
people complain about being too grassy/weedy.

I don't have time to take care of my gardens like I used to and things like 
Round-Up and Preen help a lot.  I'm pretty excited about the selective grass 
killers but wish I'd hear more about other people's experience with them.  I 
take care of a couple other people's gardens and am afraid to use it on 
theirs until I am more confident of it.

TIA for whatever comments you may have.
