Wild violets are -really- hard to control, I've seen them come
back after using roundup. You can try a more selective control
and use repeat applications, 7 to 10 days apart.

Here's a link to one of the better retail herbicides for the
hard to kill variety's.

Good luck.



I second this. I've had very little luck w/ herbicides on field violets. I'd
hire the kids to dig 'em out.
