Lawn Weed-and-Feed Damage to Perennial Bed

Leach Out Herbicide Quickly

Scotts Weed & Feed on a flower bed harms broadleaf perennials (peonies, hollyhocks, delphiniums, phlox). Immediately soak the bed deeply for 3 days to leach chemicals. One application may not kill established plants, but delphiniums and phlox are more sensitive.

Wait and See

Peonies and hollyhocks are tough. Monitor for recovery; avoid further contamination.
