Wild Onion in Bermuda: Dig or Spray—But Dormant Bulbs Mean Repeat Battles

Wild onions = clusters above, many more bulbs below. Half are dormant now.

Options

• Dig with dandelion fork—gets dormant bulbs too. Best for small patches.
• Spray broadleaf herbicide—kills leafed plants, misses dormant bulbs. Repeat needed.
• Imazaquin—excellent control, but not on greening Bermuda (wait until May). Not for fescue.

Timing

Winter (dormant grass) is best spray window.
