I am currently battling this persistent weed. If this is all you
have, get rid of it now, before its too late. I can't believe how
hard it is to kill. I do admit that I was a bit lax last year, but
I've learned my lesson. I'm starting early and will stay with it till
its gone.

The best way to kill it is to hit it with Roundup right as it flowers.
Then hit it again once more in 4-6 weeks. The following spring any
stragglers can be picked off with a third application. This is one of
the only plants I'll haul out the chemical guns for.
