What you are calling quackgrass may have other names in other parts of the country.
It may be a good idea to first do a Google search with the keywords 'quackgrass botanical name'; the result is Elymus repens.
Look at photos to make sure that is the same plant you know as quackgrass.

Then punch the botanical name into a search adding the words 'common names'.

Couch, twitch, quick grass, quitch grass, quitch, dog grass, quackgrass, scutch grass and witchgrass. Whew, no wonder it's so hard to get rid of; lots of aliases. Confused

Then search for herbicides specifically for that plant. Don't know what herbicides will do to flower plants as most label information is about crops. If you have a feed & seed store they may have something that will work. Also, check with your local county cooperative extension.
