Neutral northgrass On May 26, 2007, northgrass from West Chazy, NY (Zone 4b) wrote:

In May when this plant is entirely covered with pure white flowers, it can be quite breathtaking. The leaves stay attractive all summer. Its drawback is it can be invasive and its roots are very tenacious making it rather difficult to pull out, even when small. Once established, I believe it impossible to eradicate.
I deal with it this way, after the spring show, I use a spading fork to remove many of them to give the newly planted annuals a chance to grow. Next Year, it will start all over again
