Heal-all or (Prunella vulgaris) is a member of the mint family. Control is usually more effective with products containing triclopyr. Selective, postemergence broadleaf herbicides can be used to control weeds in the mint family. Commonly available homeowner products contain one or more of the following active ingredients: 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, MCPP, MCPA, dicamba, triclopyr, carfentrazone, sulfentrazone, quinclorac. Control of members of the mint family plants is rather poor when only 2,4-D is used. Products containing MCPP, MCPA and dicamba usually provide better results.
