Message: [QUOTE="Marck, post: 223721, member: 15114"] Greetings, welcome to the Forums. Fountain Grasses ([I]Cenchrus [/I]spp., formerly [I]Pennisetum[/I] spp.) will often reseed. It is more likely that plant coming up in the concrete path is a seedling rather than a rhizomatous offshoot. It would be good to post a picture of the plant to judge the distance between the two plants, and also for identification purposes. In any case, pouring strong vinegar or boiling water on the plant may be effective if the liquid can penetrate into the crack deeply. It isn't likely to seriously damage the other, larger plant, but this partly depends on how close the two are to each other. another option is to keep pulling or clipping away at the visible part of the unwanted plant until its energy reserves are exhausted.
