Question

Grass growing thickly through Cliveas, seeking spray to kill grass without damaging Cliveas/shrubs.

I have a row of Cliveas growing along my front fence. With recent rains grass has grown up around the plants and hand "weeding" is ineffective. Is there a spray that I could apply that won't affect the Cliveas but kills the grass?

Unfortunately, there is no selective herbicide that will kill the grass but not harm the cliveas. You will need to carefully treat the grass with a non-selective herbicide, like Yates Zero Weed Killer. You may like to try Yates Zero Rapid Gel, which can be easily dabbed onto the weeds, reducing the risk of any product drifting on to nearby plants. Click here for more information:
