You`ll just have to see if you can find a plant addicted nerd then.OH, but what is it!!! Plant addicted nerds must know!
Every time I look in the mirror, every time I look in the mirror.You`ll just have to see if you can find a plant addicted nerd then.
Haven't seen the flowers yet; keep pulling it out regularly. Tried to dig out from the roots but they are very deep. Actually thought of digging out the whole area but boundary walls are nearby and structural damage is a possible....... and if you get a glyphosate weedkiller, you can join the Roundup compensation bandwaggon!!
Seriously though, it does look like Lily of the Valley. What are the flowers like? Small round white bell shapes flowers - it's them. If the leaves get very long with arching stems of small trumpet shaped red flowers, it's Crocosmia (humming birds love them), but I'm thinking probably the former. Both spread vigorously so pulling or weedkiller is about all you can do.
True; I am using glyphosate solution with a dropper, exactly on the leaves and buds of this plant and nothing else. I do not know the effective frequency of application, so I have started using it twice a day. Although the leaves are strikingly similar to the one in the picture, the one I am dealing with has rhizomes that are at the depth of at least a foot. Thanks.@Syed Gillani although lily of the valley has very similar leaves, and grows on rhizomes like this View attachment 69560
it seems to me that you would be able to dig it up with little effort. All the lily of the valley I have had growing here has been very easy to dig up and transplant, and has never given me the trouble that your weed is giving you.
It seems to me that the ''glyphosate'' word is the trigger for some people to get a bit upset about, and I understand that this is banned in some countries. Here, we use this in a selective way, very infrequently.... because it works.
Whoops! Oh! ok. I'll stop using it now and wait. Thanks.@Syed Gillani It is important that you use this diluted, - strictly as the instructions say. Read the label. The solution should only be used ONCE. It will then take at least two weeks to show results. Over dosing your weeds will not help at all.
