Kikuyu - EVIL!!
 
Damn the person who originally decided kikuyu was good idea for the front
and back grass area in my recently purchased home.

I am sure this is one of the devil's creations, just like olives!!

It doesn't even come remotely close to lantana... I'd lay off the
pan-galactic gargle-blasters if I were you.

Serious question: Why not? I suppose from an economic perspective,
at least kikyu has some uses. They both have the tendancy to take
over as the dominant species, and both tend to supress the growth of
other plants growing with them. Plus Lantana is much easier to keep
out of an area once it's been properly dealt with by re-establishing a
proper canopy.

I love the perfume of lantana on a baking hot mid-summer day. Flowers or
crushed leaves, either will do. I wonder can it be bottled? I'd wear it on
a dull wintery morning to brighten my day!

You're insane. I recently had to handle Lantana leaves for a long
time and they're disgusting smelling. According to Kevin Mills in
"Raniforests of the Illawarra", the best time and place to watch for
butterflies is in lantana patches in late summer in the forest.

Nobody's been able to tell me why Kikyu is a worse weed yet.

Because the kikuyu is in my back yard and the lantana isn't!
