"Casoron controls perennial broadleaf and grass weeds that no other selective herbicide can control. Applied in the winter, in a granular form, it can control many weeds including mugwort, horsenettle, bamboo, and Florida betony. However, it can also be very injurious to any herbaceous ornamental, many woody ornamentals and turfgrasses."

Casseron is not a selective killer--it stops weed seed from emerging and kills where it leaches--as in plants. You need to get some roundup and put it in a small sprayer and kill your weeds systemically or you could pull them prior to their blooming and making more weeds. Remember that all flowers were once weeds and don't stress out over the mess.
