Killing Weeds And Planting Perennials In Their Place?
October 24th, 2009
Author: MumHow could I kill some hearty weeds growing along our fence line and plant a perennial in their place? I want the flowers to grow along the fence as the weeds once did I’m thinking of planting daisy or blackeyed susies or something else that can be cut- planted by seed. I don’t care how the plant looks, just about getting good cut flowers off it. I would till, but there is ground in between the fence and the fences baseboard that the weeds grow in to. Can I spray and kill the weeds, and then plant the seeds? OR will the spray kill the seeds too? What spray? What perennial would be a good choice? Something that will spread like a weed, along the fence that is! We are in IN, zone 4 I believe.

if you spray the weeds you cannot plant for four months either pull them out or till
Go to your local garden center and they can tell you what you need for your area. Weed killing products like Round up can be used and once
the weeds are dead you will most likely will still want to till the area before you seed or plant plants. You need to read the directions on the weed killer to know how long you have to wait before planting or seeding.
actually, if you spray with roundup, it leaves no poisonous residue in the soil so you can plant within a day or two of spraying. However, in zone 4 it is a little too early to use roundup b/c it is too cold. Either go get Speed Zone (meant for cold weather weed killing) and have to wait a few weeks to plant or wait until the weather is in the upper 50s and lower 60s to spray the roundup.
Black-eyed susans are wonderful perennials. Super easy to grow and so pretty! Another good cut flower to plant is Cone Flower/Echinacea. Because you are in zone 4, it is also way too early to put out flower seeds. You need to wait until you are absolutely sure there won’t be any more freezing weather, otherwise the seed won’t survive.
