Default Bulbs and Glyphosate

Hi All,

I've inadvertently managed to spray some glyphosate on some bulbs

(hyacinths
I think) and am wandering what effect it will have. It's killing the

foliage
as I would expect it to but is it likely to kill the actual bulb as

well?

Probably. Although it is absorbed via the leaves, it affects all parts
of the plant.

Glyphosphate did not kill my Scilla Campanulata (Spanish Bluebell) when I tried to reduce their numbers last year - they
are mostly back again this year, choking everything else as usual.
