Lawn CareWeed Control3MediumHomeowner$ implied
A homeowner needs to selectively kill lily and other ornamental plants in a flower bed without harming the surrounding sod lawn, but physical removal is ineffective because the bulbs break.
No selective herbicide available for non-weed broadleaf plants (ornamentals) that is safe for sod; manual removal fails due to brittle bulbs.
