Pull it up and make sure to get the roots, as it will regrow if you don't. Don't let them go to seed! - bitter experience talking.

Thanks hundreds if not thousands of them have sprung up in the flowerbed around our pool but I’ve been trying to get them under control. It’s been difficult to say the least.

Yes, it is a pity they are so aggressive because the blue is such a heavenly colour.

Common name is Dayflower

Another common name is 'Widow's Tears".

Agree w/peren.all, it's a noxious weed but that shade of sky-blue is heavenly and rare indeed.

I am tying to get them established down by my creek. They are not that aggressive in my cranky soil. I gave them the ally way back at my house intown.

I'm also in Tarrant County and have been trying to rid my yard of them for past six years. While digging in a flower bed I found a tag with the name of the plant so mine were intentionally planted by a previous owner. They come up everywhere.

I've been trying to eradicate all my C. communi, and then I hope to colonize our native Commelina, like erecta and virginica. They are all so similar that it's a good idea to know the difference between C. communis and the native species so you aren't destroying native plants. Some people following this thread until now might walk away believing any Commelina is a weed? North America has 4 native Commelina species and 5 mon native species. Mo positive ID has been made for this Commelina. It could be native.

I mention this for any people who really care about preserving native plants and who don't subscribe to the philosophy of, no care, no trouble, no fun, well mowed lawns are way to go.

I almost entirely use native plants and have already begun taking out some non-natives in my new yard but regardless if the commelina that I have in my flowerbed is native or non-native it spreads too much for me to intentionally keep it here.
