How do I control viola sp (Viola sororia) in a home lawn in Albemarle County Virginia?
Date of Correspondence: March 12, 2004 Recommendation: Violets are difficult to control with selective chemicals. Products that contain triclopyr will do the best job. Any product can be used if it contains at least two of the following chemicals: triclopyr, clopyralid, 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPP. Two to three or more treatments will be needed to completely kill the violet. Treat every two weeks. Several ready-to-use herbicides are available in spray bottles at your local hardware store. The active ingredients above will not harm your turfgrass but will harm or kill any broadleaf plant that comes in contact with the chemical. Avoid treating the foliage of desirable broadleaf plants, shrubs, and trees.
