It is not too late to treat lesser celandine. It can be treated when the plants are still blooming. This is a tough plant on some of our Maryland native plants so it is worth trying to manage the population at this time.
Lesser celandine is very difficult to control and may require a combination of techniques. This can take time. Do not expect management in one season.
See our website and resource links for more information and management options.
