Nutsedge Control in Landscape Beds: Herbicides Safe for Azaleas

Q: How to kill nutgrass in azalea beds without harming the shrubs?

Yellow nutsedge only: Bentazon (click for sources)—spot-spray emerged sedge, not over-the-top.

Both yellow & purple: Imazaquin (click for sources)—check label for azalea safety. Halosulfuron (click for sources)—best control, labeled for established woody ornamentals.

Key: Both are root-absorbed; irrigate after application. Tubers dormant up to 2 years—persistence required.
