The Best Weed Killers for Flower Beds in the Market

It is not easy to find a good product that will rid your flowerbed of weeds without harming the actual ornamental plants and flowers.

For as many products out there that don’t work, there are still plenty that do and we would like to present them to you in our guide below!

Whether you’re in need of a ready-to-use weed killer that is safe to use around your flowers or if you’re feeling a bit more ambitious and want to try making your own, we have the top suggestions for you right here.

1. Eco Clean Pure 20% Vinegar by Home&Garden


A 20% solution of white vinegar should be strong enough to kill the weeds, and we personally use this one from Factory Direct Vinegar.

There are weed killer recipes that gardeners swear by that contain vinegar, but the one thing you need to take into consideration when you use it is that it can lower the pH of your soil!

If your soil is alkaline, this might actually be a good thing, but if your soil is already acidic, it might have a negative effect on the surrounding plants.

You can search for plenty of recipes online, but when it comes to choosing the vinegar, you’re going to need the stronger stuff.

Be very careful when you handle it because it can burn you (it is an acid). Always wear safety gloves and goggles when using it!

2. Roundup Weed and Grass Killer Super Concentrate


Roundup is one of the most well known weed killers there is.

You’ll notice that this bottle, which is only a 1/2-gallon, is quite expensive, but as a concentrate, you’ll be diluting it with water so it will last quite a while.

This also contains glyphosate like the previous product but in a higher percentage (50.2% versus the 41% from Compare-N-Save).

Roundup has quite a few products to choose from, but this one can be used around flowers, mulch beds and many of the common nooks and crannies where those stubborn weeds grow.

3. Compare-N-Save Concentrate Grass and Weed Killer



Seeing that this is a common herbicide used to keep the weeds down in crops, it is also safe for you to use around the flowerbeds.

This is a 41% solution of glyphosate that, when applied to the weeds, will be absorbed by their leaves and kill them to the root.

It’s a great general weed killer to have in your garden shed. You can use it on pathways, around the vegetable garden and in the flowerbeds. Keep in mind that while it is great at killing weeds, you’ll have to stay on top of things in order to prevent them from coming back. This isn’t a one-spray-kills-forever solution.
