Q&A – How do you get rid of purselane?
Question:
How can you get rid of Purselane? It is all over my garden.
Answer:
Purselane is a tough weed. It reproduces by seeds, stems or root fragments. The seeds can even live 40 years before they sprout. In a garden the best – and really only – way to get rid of purselane is to manually pull it out. In a lawn you can use pre-emergent herbicides or post-emergent broad leaf herbicides.
