Star-Of-Bethlem #679111

Asked January 13, 2021, 1:59 PM EST

Can you tell me the best way to eradicate this perennial weed (Ornithoglum umbellatum)? It is persistant in my yard, and I would like to be able to treat it this spring when it emerges from dormancy.

Expert Response

Star of Bethlehem can be a tricky one. I have been battling in my own yard...and I'm finally winning. Can you tell me more detail about where it is located and how dense it is? Options for control in the lawn with herbicides are the easiest...for ornamental or vegetable areas it will be a bit trickier. 

You can respond here or you can email me directly at <personal data hidden>
