i'm a newbie gardner that is battling a myrtle hostile takeover of my pachysandra patch. i use the pach as ground cover in an area next to my driveway. slowly but surely, i have myrtle overtaking the whole area. i know this is a long shot, but is there some product out there that will eliminate the myrtle without affecting the pach?

Hi Mjbr,

It sounds like the myrtle is fairly small right now. The best thing to do would be to pull it out as it appears... or...If you can, and if you are very careful, spray RoundUP on it on a calm day so spray doesn't drift on your groundcover.
