killing weeds and canna

| I have two huge beds of canna, which overwinter great and are more prolific every year. The problem is that the beds get covered in the wild strawberry weeds, and it's really hard to get it during the summer. I want to kill the weeds this winter with Round Up, and then heavily mulch. Will the herbicide injure the dormant bulbs in the ground? |

| Donna, Round Up is primarily a contact herbicide that typically is absorbed and moves through the plant. Assuming your canna foliage is dead at this time of year, the contact herbicide would not likely cause injury. I am not sure how effective it would be on your wild strawberries at this stage of growth. I would suggest you contact the local County Extension Office and get their recommendations. There service is generally free of charge and a phone call might prove beneficial. They would be more knowledgeable of your present growing location and conditions. Kent |
