Green onions taking over

Can someone give me a good idea on keeping these onions outta my lawn. It is bermuda grass and I live in west tenn. I sprayed with 2,4-d last fall and got some but they have come back and brought friends this time.

same answer as last fall- use 24d- you should have a better response in the spring of the year however. your best bet in that area is going to a farm co-op type store.

Are you sure they are onions? Break off a stem and smell it. There are many wildflowers that look just like onion stalks but don’t smell like them. If they are wildflowers, enjoy them because they’ll be gone soon.

If they are wild flowers, chances are the seeds sprouted last fall. Next fall, use a preemergent weed killer.

Mow your bermuda frequently – twice a week – for a couple of months and they will die off and never come back.
