Is there a product that a person can spray in the a flower garden to kill weeds without killing the flowers?

My gardener just planted flowers in front of my house, but he didn't put plastic or mulch down first...now, weeds are popping up everywhere and it would take forever to pull them all. So, I'm curious...is there a product that can be sprayed in areas like that where the flowers are close together without harming the flowers?

Almost all of the weed killers will also kill your flowers. I was told that you could use Weed Be Gone too and I ended up with dead weeds and flowers. Your best bet is to take a heavy rake and rough up the existing mulch. Then add a layer of heavy mulch on top. The weeds should die back under another heavy mulching. Wait a few days then pull out the few stragglers that make it through. Most mulches actually have seeds for weeds in them, scary isn't it. Make sure you find mulch that has been heated or frozen to kill the seeds or you'll just get more weeds. I hope this helps and Good Luck!!!

Reply:Round up and weed be gone will kill everything. I know it stinks, but your best bet is to pull everything that you can by hand and then add another two to three inches of mulch. If there is mulch down already be sure to fluff it up with a rake first so it does not compact and prevent water from getting through.
