Weed invading banks in back of house. This one crowding out vinca
minor. About yard long, budding, stickers around leaves. Pulls easily
with long thin root. Put through Google images and it says wood and
picture of bank comes back as grass.

I'm not sure which variety, if any but it looks similar...


Thanks, it is definitely in that family. No dermatitis from pulling it
but wife will have to be careful.
