April 13, 2016A.Celandines are pretty but very invasive.
You can dig up the the plants, though if it is a large area this may be nearly impossible.
Changing the soil conditions can have an impact. They love a damp and clay soil so improving the soil by adding drainage and adding well draining loamy soil can help discourage the plant.
In the most drastic method you can use a herbicide on the plants though this will likely kill off everything in the area.Was this answer useful?00

49341Q.Weeds
I'm a new home owner. Huge garden to take care of. I cut down the tall grasses last fall. Now, I suspect that a prolific weed has taken root in the tall grasses. The leaves don't look like they are "grassy." See pic. If they are weeds, have I lost these grasses? Is there any way to save them? I believe previous owners used an herbicide in their sprinkler system to help keep weeds down.
