Can you pull it out? I'd try forking it out with its roots. But im a newbie so thats only a guess. You could also try that lawn fertiliser/weed killer. Given the leaf coverage it should take it out because it burns the leaves.

 

hi newbie green thanks for your reply.they sellthis plant in our market for 2pounds a pot .it only has surface roots so spreads everywhere.i am going to try another weedkiller .will let you know if it works.carolla.
