Gary from Charlotte, Nc writes

Accidentally sprayed a 1500 square foot Royal Purple Liriope yard with Helena Crossbow Herbicide thinking I grabbed a different container. Realized 15 min into spraying and immediately washed every single plant thoroughly with plain water hoping the plants didn't absorb it. Did I make this worse by the washed off application now being in the soil? Is there any chance my plants will survive?

Answer:

Unfortunately, the extent of injury to the Royal Purple Liriope and soil is going to be difficult to determine. With the product label precautions and advising to be cautious of wind drift, preventing overspray and to avoid spraying desirable plants with Helena Crossbow Herbicide, it is really a wait and see. The product label states, excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and plant growth. The residual of Crossbow Herbicide in the soil can remain for up to 1 year therefore it is recommended to wait 1 year after an application to replant in the treated areas. Otherwise, remove and replace the soil with fresh untreated soil, wait 3 weeks to replant in that area where the Crossbow was applied.
