Mulberry weed is an annual weed and can be prevented with the proper timing of pre-emergent chemical. The best pre-emergent for broadleaf weeds is dithiopyr such as Dimension 2EW. It should be applied in late March and again in mid-May. If you have a huge mulberry weed population, you can make a third application in early July.
Spot treating with something like Hi-Yield 2,4-D and/or a glyphosate based product will kill mulberry weed but care should be taken to avoid contact/drift with the gardenias as they could be injured as well.
Key is to kill or pull the weed before it drops the seeds, which the plant does a few weeks after germination. There is an article by UGA here that might help.

Dimension 2EW is a pre-emergent herbicide, so it is best applied before soil temperatures reach those that are optimal for the weeds you are targeting. This is generally before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees in the Spring. You should not apply when there is snow on the ground or temperatures are below freezing. In the Fall, you would want to apply before soil temperatures cool to those favorable for these weeds, usually below 70 degrees. We recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension for the best recommendation on timing in your area.
Typically you want to mix your Dimension 2EW or any chemical with room temp water or something close to that. Cold water can often cause products to have trouble emulsifying into solution.
