You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a product call Image and it should do the trick. Just follow the instructions. Good Luck
Good luck on that! I've gardened over 40 years. and am still looking for an answer to this one! The best solution (and it's temporary) is to hoe around flowers and then put down several thicknesses of newspaper,wet thoroughly and cover with 3-4 inches of mulch. This will last about one growing season and even then you'll have a few "strays"pop up!Be sure to overlap the newspaper. This plant can grow through concrete so it's a true challenge. Cutting off it's sunlight is the ultimate answer?!
It's a clever plant, with the greenery growing in one place and the nut is attached about 3 to 6 inches horizontally, so it is never bugged when you pull up the grass leaves! I'm convinced one day this frustrating plant will be found to be the cure to some dread disease (or God's way of keeping we gardeners humble!)
An older product that works is called "Weed Hoe". This will kill nut grass in a lawn environment if applied correctly. Application rate is important but it can be useful in controlling nut grass in lawns. Remember though you aren't finished until the very last shoot is gone! Good luck.
How do I naturally destroy nut grass?

I have had most success using bleach. I spray the nustgrass with straight bleach. This is not ideal if there is "good" grass also growing in the same area but by holding the spray nozzle low and on the nutgrass, I manage to spray only the "bad" grass. It will take several applications as you must get the "nut"" to prevent growth and spreading.
Does anybody out there have a home remedy solution for nut grass? Thanks.
