Q&A – What is the best way to control violets in my yard?
Question:
What is the best way to control violets in my yard?
Answer:
Violets are tough weeds. They can be controlled by a herbicide that includes dicamba or 2,4-D, or Trimec. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says it will probably take more than one application to control the violets. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond suggests picking the flowers and bringing them in the house to enjoy. This will reduce the number of seeds. She also recommends using a pre-emergent herbicide to control the seeds.
