How do i remove grass growing inside of my phlox and other ground cover?

the phlox on my rock wall looks beautiful.. i couldnt ask for a healthier, better looking plant. but i do have a slight grass problem.. grass has begun to grow within my phlox and other ground covers, and i wanted to know if anyone knows of any ways to remove it?





i try to hand pull it, but we all know how difficult it is to get the roots out, especially when it is within another plant.





any help you can give would be appreciated

Ortho Grass B Gon is said to kill grass, but not desirable plants.





Apparently, it was designed w/ flower beds and gardens in mind.
Reply:you gotta go in carefully like a doctor and pull it out without uplifting your phlox roots its not too hard, good thing about phlox it usually is so thick it blocks out weeds
Reply:If you are looking for a silver bullet, I'm afraid there isn't one. Pull it out wherever it is and keep up with it. Weeding is very therapeutic and you can do a lot of thinking while doing it.
