Star Of Bethlehem. It’s a perennial that grows from bulbs and spreads rapidly.

I’ll agree w/ star of Bethlehem. Put them in a pot, I think they’re nice flowers but man do they spread. Blast em with a weed killer if you want them gone forever.

Lawn onions. Get on your hands and knees and dig that shit out just like you did. Any non-selective herbicide spray (glyphosphate) that will kill those will def kill whatever is nearby as well. Plus the waxy coating makes them more difficult to kill chemically, just dig them up.

Can be killed with any broadleaf herbicide with 2 or more of the following active ingredients: 2,4-d, dicamba, mcpp (mecoprop), mcpa, fluroxypyr, triclopyr (dicamba and triclopyr/fluroxypyr are especially effective)
Will require watching for new growth and re spraying. Because they grow by bulbs, they never go down with the first spray. And they only grow in the spring, and sometimes fall, so you’ll have to be on the look out in future seasons… But as long as you’re observant and don’t let it grow un bothered, it’s relatively easy to control.
Pulling or digging are not particularly effective because it’s essentially impossible to get all of the bulbs out.

Had almost zero last year. Went through two gallons of trimec today spot spraying this and wild onion. Good luck
