Alligare Diuron 80 DF is a non selective herbicide and is not labeled for use on ornamentals, best where you want bareground. Broadleaf weeds in a flower & ornamental beds will be treated very differently and much more carefully than would be needed in a lawn. Any broadleaf weeds (like clover, violets, dandelion, etc) have to be hand pulled or directly spot treated with a general weed control product or Roundup. Since broadleaf weeds are so similar in nature to most plants found in bedding areas, you would not be able to spray over the top without harming both. Any grassy weeds can usually be controlled with an over the top broadcast spray such as Grass Out, in flower beds with no worry of harm coming to them, but you will always want to check the product label for your specific species to be sure it’s safe.
