Unwanted growths in my Floxx
I have a spread of nice-looking Floxx that has what looks to be a
small amount of weeds growing amongst the Floxx. The weeds appear like long blades of grass. I can and have tried to remove them, one blade at a time, but I am wondering if a weed-killer such as Weed B Gone would do it without damaging the Floxx? Or maybe something else? Thanks Duke |

Thanks Duke There are products which can be sprayed on flower beds that will kill grasses but not broad leafed plants. Grass-be-Gone and Grass Getter are 2 that I have seen in garden stores. |

It sounds like Bermuda grass, but without knowing your geographic location, it could be a lot of things. Delaware I can and have tried to remove them, one blade at a time, Which will do little good (save for athstetics) if it is Bermuda. You'll need to either kill the grass, or remove the stolen, which can be quite deep. but I am wondering if a weed-killer such as Weed B Gone would do it without damaging the Floxx? Probably not. It will probably kill the Phlox. Or maybe something else? If it /is/ Bermuda grass, it's difficult to kill, especially this time of year, even with a non-selective herbicide such as Glyphosate. It's aggressively growing, and can recover quickly. Your best bet is to try and dig down and remove the stolens. You may damage some of the Phlox's roots in the process, but it should recover fine. Looks like I have a problem! Thanks Duke |
