Question
This plant is invading my lawn and flower beds. Pic is attached. Can you ID? Method to control spreading? Thanks. Best, Ray Dona
Answer
Dear RayDona, good morning. You have photographed a species of Allium (onion, garlic). It could be Allium vineale (crow garlic), a species with narrow leaves and small bulbs. It is edible and any harvests of it you make can be used in the kitchen. It is difficult to control through herbicides because of the waxy nature of the leaves (chemicals do not stick well to this species). Best wishes.
