How Do You Get Rid Of Lily Of The Valley?
Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) blooms tiny white bell-shaped flowers. When the flower are gone though, it resembles little more than tulip leaves. Unfortunately, it is highly invasive and each part of the plant is poisonous. Once established, it is hard to get rid of. Many gardeners recommend pulling it up by the root, but the roots easily become too invasive. Even small bits of root can grow back as full plants because they are rhizomatous. Therefore, you should aim to kill off the whole root system chemically. Buy Round-up herbicide spray at your local garden or hardware store. Spray the Round-up on the leaves, holding the bottle close to the plant. The best time of year is in the fall, when the plant is becoming dormant and nutrients shift from the leaves to the root system to survive the winter. Avoid getting Round-up on any other plants, even if that’s where the roots have spread. Round-up kills whatever plants it touches. Therefore make sure to pick a calm day for spray
