Grass invading flower bed.
I have delosperma in a border area of my lawn. The area is getting run over by grass. Is there anything I can use to kill the grass that won’t kill the delosperma?From: Charle5798

I would suggest a border to separate the two. There is a new 'no dig ' plastic border that is relatively easy to put in and would create a separation that could be a good fit that won't be overwhelming in appearance.Hi Douglas County Master Gardeners,
