Recovering Monkey Grass After Herbicide Damage

Monkey grass (Liriope) severely damaged by an excessive herbicide application may recover if the root system retains energy. Wait and observe for new growth. Avoid further stress. If no regrowth appears in a few weeks, replanting will be necessary. Always follow label rates precisely; rain can increase herbicide uptake. For future weed control, use products labeled safe for Liriope and apply at recommended rates.
