frankrichards16 said:2,4-D broadleaf weed killer is an option. In theory, 2,4-D will not kill daylilies. Daylilies are monocots just like grass. Most of the weed&feed products for your grass contain 2,4-D.

When I use 2,4-D (spot spray), I try not to get it on any daylilies, but if I do, it seems ok.

If you are using concentrate, proper dilution is important. A "strong" mixture of 2,4-D will kill everything. I know this from experience.

also, my experience has been that 2,4-D seems to work better on thistle than round-up. And, it's a lot quicker.




I heard of someone who used it around his daylilies and it killed every one that had been sprayed or had gotten spray on them so be careful around the daylilies if you make a stronger mixture.
