    I have a friend who is trying to kill out Lamb's Ear. She has tried digging it up, spraying with round-up but still it keeps coming back. Any suggestions? I was not aware this plant was so invasive!

    I don't think round up will be very effective against this weed. You're friend might want to try a broadleaf weed killer with 2,4-D. Such as what you would use for your lawn weeds. You have to give each weed a good soaking to get your spray to stick to the leaf. You could also add a couple drops of a surfactant "such as dishsoap" into your pump sprayer. Good Luck, Jim.

    Yepper! Those cute little soft furry-like leaves are terribly invasive. I took out my Lamb's ear a few years ago, but it keeps popping up all over the place!

    Thanks for the advice jimweed!
