Regardless, I know what you'd have to do is be prepared to hit it every time it started to regenerate. I've sprayed mine with something organic, and it knocked it back, but when it sent up new growth I didn't have time to keep after it. I'd be willing to bet smothering it with a thick layer of cardboard with a thick layer of mulch on top of that would work too, and THAT'S an organic method! @jodi: Oh, I haven’t gotten rid of it with RoundUp, I’ve only heard!

You've managed to get rid of it with roundup? You're to be commended--I have the all-green form in several locations and it's a battle royal to keep it curbed. Hubby whippersnips it weekly so that it doesn't get a chance to flower but it's SO hard to get rid of. It shouldn't be sold. (I had a tantrum about it, and other things, on my latest blog post.)

I actually love Queen Anne's lace, though I'm not sure if I should... Ask me again if I end up pulling it out of beds all over. Bishop's weed is one invasive species my organic accreditation permits the use of systemics like RoundUp to get rid of, should one choose, and even then it requires repeated treatment. It is the WORST! I want to know what that Angelica is! I actually love Queen Anne’s lace, though I’m not sure if I should… Ask me again if I end up pulling it out of beds all over.

The fragrance is to swoon over. I don't know why everyone doesn't like Queen Anne's lace, at least when growing in the wild, but the Bishop's wild may move me to using Roundup. (I haven't used it before but it's overtaking my lower beds.) My favorite is a wild Angelica that blooms in Norway while we’re there. The fragrance is to swoon over.
