The Fertilome Weed Free Zone product label states that this product should not be used on dichondra because it will harm or even kill it. However, dichondra is not listed as a targeted controlled weed. Southern Ag Atrazine Weed Killer for St. Augustine Grass would be a better option as it is labeled to control dichondra and it can safely be applied to St. Augustine turf.
Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone is not labeled to treat Lesser Celadine. Herbicides which contain the active ingredient glyphosate, such as Round Up, are effective in controlling (but not necessarily eradicating) lesser celandine. Applications should be made in late winter or early spring when leaves are visible, but prior to full flowering, and when temperatures are above 40°F. Glyphosate will impact other vegetation so try to target only the celandine. It may take 1-2 weeks before the full effects of the treatment are visible.
The product label for Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone does not mention the requirement of a surfactant/adjuvant while Drive XLR8 does the addition of one so would not recommend tank mixing them and would be best to apply separately. Not all herbicides require a surfactant as they can already contain a slight amount or adding one could reduce selectivity on turf and injure your grass.
Fertilome Weed Free Zone is generally safe to use on both Common and Hybrid Bermudagrass varieties when used at rates on the product label. Since there may be some temporary yellowing on certain types of Hybrid Bermudagrass, you may want to test a small area before making an application over the whole lawn.
Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone can harm desirable plants such as hostas if they are sprayed directly or drift contacts the foliage. You should also keep applications outside of the dripline of desirable plants.

When Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone is mixed correctly, you should not water this product in after the application. In fact, it shold not be applied if rainfall is expected within 4 hours as it may lessen the effectiveness.

We would recommend to water it in as much as possible to try to save it.

You can review the product label to make sure your target weeds are listed as well as to make sure the non target grasses you have will be safe to use the Crossbow over.
