It is a tough one. Dont let it flower! Keep it under control, else
it can quickly spread.

Japanese Knotweed is very hard to kill. Dont let it take control near buildings as it can get into the stucture and cause major problems for you.

Use Glyphosate or 2,3-d

Remember, both Glyphosate and 2,3-D are weedkillers that will also kill off any of your prized plants if you accidentally spray them. The same is true of your lawn!

Thanks
