How to get rid of violets among periwinkle without killing the periwinkle?

Posted on May 15, 2002

Question:
How to get rid of violets among periwinkle w/out killing the periwinkle? Thanks. John

Answer:
No easy solution to this problem. Hand digging or very selective application of Hi-Yield Kilzall. If the Kilzall touches the vinca, it will kill it. We carry a sponge cane that perhaps can make the application more exact but extreme caution must be taken. If you decide to do it, please see me first so I can give you some helpful suggestions. Good Luck, Chuck
