Forgot to mention in the previous post that my liriope still crops up in the yard far more frequently than I want it to.

Douglas Hunt on Mar 10, 2012Better to paint the liriope that emerges using a foam brush dipped in full-strength Roundup. You'll get better coverage and avoid overspray or drift.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Mar 11, 2012You're welcome, Louise. You'll have to be persistent, but eventually you should be rid of your liriope.Helpful Reply

T D on Mar 12, 2012I have liriope as well and run over it with the lawn mower at the begining of growing season to keep it in check...AND maybe get a few snakes in the process!Helpful Reply

Louise on Mar 12, 2012I used to cut mine all down before March 15th, which is what I'd read was the thing to do. When it was cut, I'd occasionally get a comment about how very nice my yard looked. I figured that was a subtle way to say I shouldn't have the liriope. But I have to admit, it actually DID look great when it was cut. Nice and lush yard of beautiful green. I asked the county extension person if I could keep it cut that way but he said it would eventually kill it and at that time I didn't want it to die.Helpful Reply
