Roundup weed killer (and its counterparts including Ortho Weed B Gone) work by destroying the ability of green plants to make food. The plants die because as they try to take in sunlight with which to produce food, they turn brown, wither and starve to death. If you accidentally get some on your flowers, they will turn brown, wither and starve to death too. Roundup kills all garden plants.

Roundup will kill almost any plant, including aquatic plants, so you want to be sure to avoid spray drift onto other plants or into water.

There is no good way to use Roundup in a garden. The best way to control weeds in a garden is to use a weed preventer like Preen. By sprinkling Preen on the soil and then watering it in before you plant your garden, you can stop weeds from growing in it for up to three months.
