Q&A – What is this vine and how do I get rid of it?

Question:
What is this vine and how do I get rid of it?

Answer:
This is vinca minor. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says it is an aggressive woody vining groundcover that can quickly get out of hand. To kill it, cut it to the ground with a weed eater or lawnmower. When it starts to re-sprout spray with glyphosate or Triclopyr.
