How to remove grass sprouting among ground cover?

Is there a smart way to remove / combat blade grass starting to spread among our ground cover (Dichondra Repens I think) instead of trying to pull it up bit by bit? Also a different species of thin tufty grass in 2nd pic.

Re: How to remove grass sprouting among ground cover

Hi @daven25,

 

Thank you for your question about managing winter grass growing through your ground cover plants.

 

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a selective herbicide that could be used to manage the grass without potentially damaging the surrounding plants.

 

My suggestion is to carefully apply Amgrow 100ml Winter Grass Killer to the leaves of the grass with a sponge ensuring it does not come in contact with the other plants.

 

Ensure you follow the manufacturers guidelines for mixing and wear gloves, long sleeves and a mask while handling the herbicide.

 

Allow me to tag our resident garden expert @Noelle to see if they have any advice.

 

Jacob

That's exactly what I would have suggested, @JacobZ
