Roundup and other weed killers safe to use around other plants will not work. One method is prevention. Cutting off the flower stalks in mid to late spring before the seeds form.

I have tried roundup, as well as brush and vine killer to no avail. I tried pulling them out, but first, if I don’t get the entire root, they grow back, and I’ve got thousands, perhaps even millions of them. I haven’t tried a pre emergence preventer yet, but will try it today.
