It’s spurge. There are immediate chemical controls and planting strategies to discourage future growth.

Spurge. Pulling is most effective, comes up so easily. 24d containing killers are the best spray. Be aware that only kills the live plant and more seed will sprout.

Call me crazy but I enjoy pulling spurge. Comes out so easy and satisfyingly.

Pre emergent, 2-4D products, and pulling!
Make sure and spray something like Speedzone when temps are 85 degrees or less.

When you pull them, throw them away. The seeds can mature in a dead plant and cause another generation of heartache.

If you dont want to use chemicals we use a mix of vinegar, dawns soap, and salt. That seems to be working.

If you have big batches of it in your flowerbeds, I recommend using the stirrup gardening tool. It rips them up really quickly.
