Aha! I think I will die before I get rid of it & now it's coming up in my neighbors yards. In fact, it was fazed--the deep roots seem to come back up closer to the surface, and, if you resist surrendering to despair, you can cause them devastating harm by digging out their roots a second time after their after their hollowly triumphal return.It doesn't show on your map, but it is in my mother's yard in Rochester. It is growing along alleys, in boulevards, and alongside houses all over the city. I mixed a stronger mixture of glyphosate in my sprayer and completely wetted the leaves of the whole patch. Other photos courtesy Peter M. Dziuk.This plant is terrible. I'll peek under the plastic next year and am now prepared to think I may have to hire a backhoe and have the entire section dug out, going very deep, and bring in new soil. I have put it into the trash, rather than into the garden recycling system. I think it might make it even harder to control by trying to dig it all out, and the roots just travel under mulch. Finally, a creeping bellflower support group. Now I have to pull it all up....Crap, I have a ton of these flowers and always thought they were beautiful...the bees love them.
I can't vouch for Vivian's marketing pitch, but we do use Round-up, though very, very selectively. But like many of you, it's out of control. Creeping Bellflower has recently been listed as a noxious weed and bylaw officers are out in force this year, issuing thousands of citations to clean up infested yards. Remove plants as they appear in your yard by digging out as much root as possible. It has no soul activity. I have dug it out of a contained boulevard bed/rock garden that was surrounded by concrete walkways (how did it get there?)
It hasn't invaded my yard yet but I'm sure I'm next.BRECKS SELLS THESE AWFUL THINGS! This spring I am also finding it appearing in other parts of our property in isolated spots, so it may also be spread by animals, birds, lawnmower, even found some growing in last fall's leaf compost pile, so I'm wondering if bits of the stem or leaves can also sprout. Some people refer to Creeping Bellflower as âthe zombie weedâ (This past summer, we found Creeping Bellflower growing in a hedgerow on an Island Nature Trust property. Any recommendations on removal in this case?Mary Jane, read through the other comments for suggestions.They are EVERYWHERE in Saint Cloud this year.

I didn't know anything about them but was excited to have them because of their attractive flowers. Creeping bellflower eradication without toxic chemicals is always worth a try, and a sturdy shovel is your best weapon. I haven't had time to dig it, but will certainly do that as soon as possible. It is a miserable plant and very difficult to eradicate once established. Did you know mixing your own higher concentration than what the label specifies is actually illegal? Herbicides such as Round Up are recommended by many, but are often ineffective; digging the all the tubers out may be your only hope. I've been an advid gardener for 30 + years and have grown these at each house I've owned. Round up 365 is a particularly robust product for those plants that that don't want to go away. as well as its root system. It’s easy to see how this invasive week can quickly get out of control.

My hint for what works best for me: when the soil is very damp (usually mid-spring or after heavy rains when it's dried a bit)use a hand held garden fork and slide it along the main stem, wiggle it and partially lever it. This plant is steadily marching up our street via boulevard flower beds, it crawls along the sidewalks and old retaining walls and is now invading our lawn in big patches. !I have been trying to eradicate this weed from my garden for about 10 years.
I found the dogs really searching for them & w/o fail- they sniffed out a tiny tiny leaf somewhere to chew!I have a patch I have been trying to kill for years under a pine tree. I found this link and will be trying to kill it with these chemical suggestions. Creeping Bellflower, a European import popular in the garden industry, readily escapes cultivation and can quickly become invasive, spreading both from seed (up to 15,000 per plant!) I did this all through the blooming season. There is a lesson here though: even if we canât completely eradicate an invasive population it is still worthwhile to attempt to control it. Apple trees are also susceptible. I have read that it is resistant to 2,4-D. Unless you go after it EVERY day, it will soon spread and take over large areas. I agree, they are quite pretty but now I know the truth.
