Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum),
at first glance, is one of the prettiest groundcovers, so light and
gentle blowing in the breeze. It is herbaceous and looks like a low
soft bamboo. But do not be tempted to introduce this invasive annual grass
to your yard. If you have a managed landscape, begin eradication at
first sight.
Roundup kills the emerged plants, but the
seeds form young and fly far, so hit it before it seeds and keep your
eyes peeled.
Snapshot is a rather pricey pre-emerge herbicide, but
it prevents the seeds from germinating in open spaces. Unfortunately,
you cannot spread Snapshot in your perennial borders. The only way to
remove the unwanted aggressor from your beds is to get down on your
hands and knees and start pulling.
I don't have a picture for you because I killed it all (or so I think).
