Chris, Mr. D and director of horticulture at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens Dale Skaggs educate us on virginia button weed. This pesky plant is a voracious grower and can come from seeds, roots fragments and even stem fragments! To help keep this wily weed out of your yard make sure your soil is well drained. Removing them by hand isn't recommended but can work if you get all of the root material. Like all plants this bad boy is built to survive but you can remove it with persistent herbicide use.
