I'm dealing with Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum Umbellatum) in my community garden, and it's becoming a real hassle. I spend countless hours trying to dig it up, but it just keeps coming back. I'm looking for more effective methods to eliminate it for good. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, your best bets are solarizing or smothering the plants to kill them off. Manual removal can work too, but it’s super tedious—if you don’t get every single bulblet, they’ll just come right back! Good luck!
Have you looked into any specific chemicals that might work on them? I know some folks prefer organic options, but these plants are tricky since they grow among other bulbs. It’s tough to target them without harming other plants too.
Yeah, I'm totally open to any organic solutions that can help!
Exactly! It can be a real pain.
