Bindweed, also known as Convolvulus arvensis, is a common sight in gardens and lawns throughout Johnson County, Kansas. This invasive weed is known for its white or pink trumpet-shaped flowers and its ability to spread rapidly and choke out desirable plants.
Bindweed is a perennial weed, which means it can come back year after year, making control particularly challenging. The plant has a deep taproot, which makes it difficult to pull up and can also survive in drought conditions. It can also spread through its underground stems, called rhizomes, which can regrow if not removed properly.
To control Bindweed, it’s important to use a combination of methods. One of the most effective ways to control Bindweed is to repeatedly mow or cut it down before it goes to seed. This will prevent it from spreading and will help to weaken it over time. It’s also important to remove all roots and rhizomes when manually removing the plant.
Another effective method to control Bindweed is to use a selective herbicide. These herbicides are designed to target specific weeds, such as Bindweed, without harming desirable plants. Be sure to follow the instructions on the herbicide label and apply it at the right time of year for optimal results.
