Thought creeping jenny was pretty until it became invasive. How do I get rid of it now. When I pull it out the roots go forever and it just comes back. PNW

Where is it growing now? Like, is it in your lawn or beds, or both?– gregglesApr 12, 2018 at 19:55

Also, it appears that "creeping jenny" is used to refer to either Moneywort or Field Bindweed - do you know which one you're asking about?– gregglesApr 12, 2018 at 20:01

Spray with glyphosate. Follow the instructions. Repeat as necessary.

If it's field bindweed, glyphosate will knock it back but won't kill it.– JurpApr 14, 2018 at 14:10

Peter - Once established, bindweed roots can grow up to 9 feet deep. RoundUp and 2,4-D will knock it back but will not kill it. If the bindweed is in lawn, the gardener can try 2,4-D/Dicamba at least twice a year. If it's in a garden, then constant pulling of new growth is probably best, so as not to kill nearby garden plants via drift.
