Good Morning Jane,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Please click on the following link from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website: https://extension.umn.edu/weeds/creeping-bellflower
This information states:
- Small sections of creeping bellflower can be managed by removing all of the plant’s roots; repeated removal may be necessary.
- Broadleaf herbicides may be effective on large infestations, but creeping bellflower is resistant to many herbicides.
I am not familiar with the effectiveness of Preen. You would need to READ THE LABEL on the product.
Good Luck!
