How to stop Lilly of the Valley invasion?
by LYnn
I love Lilly of the Valley but they have completely overtaken my garden. they are in between all the plants and ivy (that is a family strain going back 100 years!). How can I get rid of this so I can see my original garden again? Each year it gets worse.

Dig really deep. And diligently.You can try spraying, or more safely, painting the leaves with a killer. But be forewarned that there root system is very deep and efficient.If I had a magic cure I would have used it.I know. They take over and destroy all in their path. -

http://homeguides.sfgate.com/kill-lily-valley-41593.htmlRoundup now comes in a stick form like deodorant. But I prefer paintbrush. Crinkle the leaves a little so they have an open wound.Gloves, mask and patience. You’ll likely have to treat twice.
