Bruce wants to eliminate periwinkle (creeping myrtle) choking beds. Grass-B-Gon (sethoxydim) kills grasses, not broadleaves—periwinkle is broadleaf. Better: hand-dig, smother with cardboard + mulch, or spot-treat with glyphosate (last resort). Alabama Extension guide: aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-0854/. Patience—periwinkle is persistent.
Protect desired plants: shield with cardboard during treatment. Replant with competitive groundcovers.
