Will spraying a Weed Herbicide on Flowers and garden kill my plants?

I bought this product called Weed-Out which claims will kill all kinds of broadleaf weeds such as dandelions from my lawn. I just attach it to my hose and spray away. Can someone tell me, i have a garden next to my lawn and so when i spray this weed herbicide will it kill my flowers and bushels too if i spray the liquid on them too? The grass seems fine so i am guessing this weed herbicide is selective in killing just the weeds?

Herbicides are designed to kill weeds and unwanted plants.



They are either selective, non selective or broad spectrum. A broad leaf herbicide is a selective herbicide that WILL harm flowers, vegetables and plants. It is designed to NOT harm grass. You are correct ...it is selective in killing the broad leaf weeds, which would include most flowers and plants. When in doubt read the label.
Reply:I certainly would be concerned that it would. I have many small violets and another small flowering ground plant that I had bought years ago and with all this years rain and a new irrigation system they have spread all over the lawn. I am planning on putting down a weed and feed to get rid of them. I unlike you, am hoping it works. Talk to someone at a local nursery and good luck.
Reply:The answer is yes. It will kill your garden plants. They are broadleaf plants.
Reply:it depends on the type and brand of hebicide you have, there are different herbisides that are flower safe
