I have a great bed of liriope with a Yoshino Cherry growing out of it...but within the bed of liriope there are a lot of weeds. Is there an easy way to remove the weeds? A spray weed killer for turf grass? would that work? just trying to get the liriope to just be liriope...not a mix of weeds and liriope!
it is hard to kill monkey grass and it divides so easily and can be replanted just about any time of year. I used to get centipede growing in my monkey grass and I would just dig out the centipede and replant the monkey grass all at the same time. Don't worry about chopping a bit of liriope off when you weed but don't spray roundup as that will indeed kill liriope. put down pre emergent if you don't want weeds in it. I got my lirope so thick it shaded out most weeds.
You can pull the weeds, add newspaper layer to the open area, mulch over the top a couple inches to cover. That should sufocate any weeds/seeds which may still be developing.

Reason: typo
I'd just pull them by hand and mulch until the liriope fills in the space
