Saw a post on one of the Facebook pages about using Preen in a garden bed and thought I'd see if it was safe to use around peonies and other perennials, if the stuff would inhibit plant growth. Seems from Preen's site the only one that is considered safe around peonies is the one specifically formulated for vegetable gardens--basically their corn gluten version. I've purchased a gluten (think it was potato, not corn) weed preventer before, not specifically Preen, but it was about useless, weed germination didn't even seem to be reduced. Before trying this stuff for next year I thought I'd ask if any of you here have used Preen in any of it's various forms around your peonies, lilies, daylilies etc. and if it harmed your plants in any way (most important!) and how effective it was on preventing weeds. Anyone?
