Question:
Answers:
These are very tough plants! Dig up as much of the plant as possible, then dig some more to find all of the roots, or put shrub and brush killer on the roots, that are left. Even following these measures, you still may have some plants pop up. Keep after them, it might take a long time to kill them out, totally.
Pour bleach full strength on the plant after you cut it at ground level.
Try using a liquid weed killer,(Round up) spray the plants, then dig them up.the killer will go strait to the roots and kill it...then use a pre- emergent killer, to stop them from coming up.
Once they are established they are hard to kill. I have dug as deep as 4 feet to get rid of them and they came back 2 years later. I kept at it and got rid of them but you have to keep trying. The first time is the worst after you remove the main portion of the plant only small starts come back.
