Can you please tell me what type of weed this is. We have used both roundup and spectracide and neither product kills this weed. It spreads like a ground cover. We are in Bandon, thank you

Expert Response
Sharron, thank you for your question! This looks like the native Redwood Violet. Have you seen flowers? Redwood Violets have yellow flowers (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/41137163). There are other violet species in the area, some of which have blue or white flowers, but this looks like the most likely candidate. Violets are known for being resistant to many herbicides!
