  • For best results, do not mow for 2 days before or after treating.

  • Do not allow spray to get on ornamental plants or vegetables since injury may result. Do not spray around roots of ornamentals and trees.
  • Do not use on lawns with desirable clovers and legumes or on ornamentals.

  • If certain tough weeds are not dead within 3 weeks, repeat with spot treatment application.

    Great Service

    By Anonymous on 09/01/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I haven't used this product yet. When I received the product, the container leaked in the plastic envelope and I lost 1/4 of the liquid and the instructions. I called and the young lady was pleased to email me instructions and credit my card for 1/4 of the product lost. You don't get customer service like this too often. I will use the product in the spring. Thank you for your great service, I will order again from your company.

Q
What is the best product to kill mugwort under Japanese maple and camellias?

this weed is taking over my mazus bed which is under a japanese maple and a camellia

A

We do have a few products labeled for controlling mugwort in lawns but not in ornamental beds.   Care should be taken with any of the products as it could also harm the mazus.  We did find a great article here by Unniversity of Tennessee that might help. Crab E Rad is one product labeled for it.
