Spray with Roundup
Use hot boiling water with some salt added in.
Or vinegar and water will also kill the roots and plant.
Roundup has a Weed & Grass Killer but I've noticed that Scott's Spot Weed Control works better
There is a product called "Brush Killer". I use it for poison Ivy and other things. You don't have to use your hands. Just point the spayer and shoot. It will die. I use this on all of my stubborn weeds that are hard to pull up.
Round Up, like other weed killers, is dangerous to humans, animals and the environment. Please don't use them! Use hot salt water to kill the weed and then pull it up. Or keep it - it's pretty.
These plants are Mexican Evening Primrose. They are drought resistant perennials. I love them because they reseed and are beautiful when mixed in with other wild flowers. Cut them back if they get too leggy. Don't use toxins such as Roundup. It's harmful to you and the environment.
Buttermilk will kill any plant or tree that you put it on ......Salt kills also but when you salt the earth...nothing grows there for a very very long time. Salt only where you don't want anything to grow for generations.
Then just pull it up. Or live with it. It's better than poisoning people and animals.
