If I have one that I feel I won't be able to pull all of the root, I only do one thing. I cut it fairly close to the soil, then I paint the stump with Round Up. It will suck the solution down into the root to kill it. Thistle can be hard to kill, so it may take more than one application. This will not hurt your ground cover because you are painting the stump only, with no overspray and it will not get into the roots or foliage of the ground cover. I hope this works for you! Make sure that no thistle is allowed to flower and dry so that seeds will be released.
