will this harm wild flowers?

It would depend on the type of flower / the leaves on the flowering plant. It works just like other selective weed killers that focus on a broad leaf (not a grass type of leaf). This is different from those other weed killers, this focuses on grass like leaves & plants. It should be safe for traditional types of flowers, however I would not trust it on a flowering plant that has grass type leaves. For example I have some muscari or something like that. The leaves are similar to grass but has a flower. I believe it would kill that type of plant / flower. If your flowers have thin long leaves, then call Ortho / download the data sheet. Else, if the flowers are like roses, I have never had a problem with this product.

Grass B Gon Garden Grass Killer can be used to kill existing grassy weeds in and around ornamental plants. It can be used around the groundcovers, flowers, trees and shrubs listed on the product label. Since wild flowers are not listed, then we recommend testing it in a small spot and waiting a few days to make sure no damage occurs before treating a larger area.

It can if they are grasses. It's specific to grassy plants which are monocots while leaving broadleaf plants, dicots, unharmed. I use it when I have grassy plants growing in my broadleaf perennials.

Don't know. Call Ortho. Worked good to kill grass coming up through low evergreen cover.

I've used it around well established plants with no noticeable consequences. Don't get any of the spray on the leaves. It will kill any green it touches.

Nope! Doesn't hurt them and doesn't deter them. We still have bees buzzing around our flowers - right under the product hanging on our porch. Both our fruit trees got pollinated and produced fruit.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

This product is a selective herbicide for use in turf. I would not use it in flower beds.

Hi, I have never tried spraying this on flowers. I have on grass and nothing happened to the grass. I hope this helps.

While I cant comment on your exact flora, I can tell you this product is extremely harsh to young plants. I wouldn't bring it near anything you dont want to lose.

Sorry, but I am not sure. I am dealing with deer and so far they have not eaten my flowers. You will probably have to go through the reviews, as I thought a few of them had talked about racoons, but I could not remember their responses. Sorry.

It doesn't affect the birds in my flower beds. I'm in California. They still come and make a mess looking for grubs. (hahaha)

some plants are more susceptible than others to burn. the mist that comes out of this spray is pretty fine so I think you'll be fine but if you are worried about certain plans for example some of your sensitive ones if you have any orchids I would just put them a little further back so that they don't get the brunt of the spray they'll just get sort of the mist. Burnt leaves art such a bad issue in the spring

I have never tried it. To be sure, put a drop into the water before placing the flowers. Best way to find out to see how the flowers respond Good luck.

From the label it looks like the rose bushes will be tolerant, I would imagine your lillies would be tolerant too. Try not to spray directly on the plant. I often use cardboard to shield my plants from any spray. I've used this to kill grasses around my vinca, and saw no problems. You can always give Ortho a call and ask about your lillies. 800-225-2883. You should also search for "Grass b gon label" and read the full label - it is readily available, and gives a lot of information on plants and safety.

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

I would not recommend using this in the context you are referring for fear it could affect your fish and plants.

One word, yes. It is a heavy duty poison and it will kill any plant it touches. I watered down and sprayed on weeds that were in between rock. Be careful of drift from flowing water or overspray onto other plants.

Unsure. But it can severely make plants grow spindly and stretched far between nodes. I would assume that if overused it could be detrimental to seed production. I have overused it before. I would look for answers elsewhere from reputable sources for this particular question. Not from consumers on Amazon. Im sure that there is info avail with the right type of search keywords. Good luck!

Just remember that when applying this to your roses you will kill any honey bees or other beneficial pollinators. This german made product is not available in germany or europe because of its toxicity. I would look at organic alternative. Good luck to you
