Expert Response
Dogbane is an aggressive plant native to North America. It flowers and produces seeds, it also spreads by creeping roots. The ability to spread by creeping roots makes it difficult to control by digging it out. This fact sheet contains detailed information about dogbane and pictures of the plant. https://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/weedguide/single_weed.php?id=40
Glyphosate will provide good control.
Thanks a lot for this information. I shared with my weed control person.
