From what I have read, St Augustine grass is sensitive to 2,4-D
This probably means that in the right dilution, 2,4-D is OK?
It is ok for most stuff but I read that it will kill or damage St. Augustine grass. I was using grass killer a few months back and it did not faze the grass so I took it back and was told that SA was the one grass that it will not kill, so I started looking else where sense I did not want to use Round up around the daylilies, just did not want to take the chance on a drift, I have a lot of expensive daylilies.
I did read that the 2,4D would kill it but could not find any information about using it around daylilies. I read a lot of fact sheets and nothing. I think I will do my own experiment with cheap daylilies before I use it around the good ones, but I really need help killing this stubborn grass and I will try it for that first.
For applying any chemical, which is always a last resort, I wear my mask and gloves, long sleeves, pants and tennis shoes so I can be safe, also I wash my clothes and shoes when I am done.
