Good luck. I have it in abundance. I weed it carefully out of my beds then make sure to remove any that tries to go back in. There are lawn products that kill it and not the grass but I would not try anything in the garden. I spray around the outside of the gardens on days with no wind so nothing gets on my iris.

It's one weed that's pretty hard to control.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Agree with all of the above; hand weeding it, no herbicides. It accidentally escaped a pot maybe 5 years ago, got into the ground, and we still have it, but at least we eradicated it in one bed, and are keeping it within bounds in another.

I have to say that it is pretty, though.... Whistling I'd be perfectly happy if it were, say, out on the creek banks...
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
