Would Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer be an effective killer of the Chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata?

I've tried a variety of methods to kill the Chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata without any success. Will this help in the process?

Answer:

Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer is not labeled for the Chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata. You can spot treat with a product like Gly Pho-Sel Pro with 41% Glyphosate. It appears this type of weed is best controlled by manually removing the plants and as many of the roots and rhizomes as possible and disposing of them by incinerating them.  This will need to be done multiple times to get complete control.  It might also be helpful to contact your local cooperative extension office here and speak with the master gardener on staff to see if they are aware of methods that others have used to control this plant in your area.
