Snapshot 2.5 TG is a pre-emergent, meaning that it prevents seeds from germinating. This product will help to prevent labeled weeds from coming up when used as instructed, however, it will not control already existing or actively growing weeds. 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, bittercress, 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 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. We recommend using pre-emergents as that is the most effective way to stop weeds especially in flower bed areas where chemical options are limited. Below you fill find links to liquid and granule options for your bedding areas.
