| I am going to use Roundup to spray my invasive Japanese Silver grass (eulalia ???). It has already grown to large clumps some 4 feet tall. It's a real nuisance!!
I read somewhere that I should wait till it's about to flower for the best results. I'm afraid I'll have too much of it over a large area if I wait till then as it flowers in August or Sept here in Korea. Should I go ahead now? 2nd (related) question. Should I cut down the leaves with my bushwhacker before spraying with Roundup? Or is it better to spray the complete undisturbed plant? Thanks for your advice! |

| Your Ornamental grass is Miscanthis sinensis. You will need to kill the entire root system to completely stop it. Here is some info last paragraph |

| Thanks very much Vera. I'll let you know how it goes, having tried Roundup on both cut and uncut plants, now and in fall if necessary! |
