How do I get rid of false nettle?
If you have found false nettle growing in your garden and you wish to remove it, the process will require some effort. Chances are that the seeds have been there for quite some time, lying dormant until the conditions were right for it to germinate and grow. The false nettle will flower and begin to seed over a period of a few weeks. To prevent further population you will have to remove it before it goes to seed. To accomplish this you can pull or dig the plant out of the ground and treat the remainder of the plant with an appropriate herbicide. The best time to do this is from late summer to early fall, and it will require two to three treatments before being completely eradicated.
