And how do I kill it in my st. Augustine?

It's take over my entire back yard over the summer and just popped up in the front yard. To say it spreads fast would be an understatement.

We're in the same boat. Hit it with a broad leaf spray I already had hoping to get lucky and it just laughed.

Virginia Buttonweed.

T&P's for your lawn. Pretty sure it can't be killed by anything.

Pulling it causes the roots left behind to sprout another plant and it's pretty resistant to chemical control.

It's been the bane of my existence for at least 5 years now.

No real advice for you. Sorry.

So it's like the hydra of weeds?

If so, I think fire worked for Hercules. Try that.

Any broadleaf weed killer should kill it, but it may take a few applications. Add a surfactant to the spray.

The inter webs tell me that Celsius WG will work. 100 bucks for 10 oz. YIKES.

The benefit is its very soft and cushiony when you walk outside to pee in the yard .

use a product called Crab Grass Killer produced by Agra Lawn. Can't find it at big box. gotta go to mom and pop. I get it at Kingwood Garden Center.
It's a powder and I swear it looks almost just like it's baking soda and cinammon. Wet the plant and then sprinkle it on. Might have to spray lightly with water after to get it activated.

Caution, it will knock out some of the st augustine blades as well. But doesn't really hurt the grass too much and bounces right back.

It looks the same as what I have and mine have runners. I lift the runners up and kind of ball together. Put a towel underneath it and then use spray bottle to wet with water. Sprinkle, Wet again a very tiny amount. This keeps it from getting on the st augustine.

it burns up the weed quickly!!!

obviously I've done the same for crabgrass and it works just the same.

blast from the past bump.

This crap is back and Amazon won't ship Celsius to me. Anyone know where I can get it in Houston?

Had it last year. I suspect it will be back again despite my herbicides.

Thanks!

Just ordered. I guess I'll just have to watch the weeds grow while I wait for it to arrive.
