| Paul Jenkins pulls a Yellow Toadflax plant up by the roots and notes that it is a perennial plant and grows both from the roots and from seeds. That is why it is so hard to get rid of. It has rhizomes that go under the ground. The plant grows from a clump or a bush and the roots grow out from the plant in runners to produce more plants. He pulls apart the base of the plant and notes that all of the shoots are from one root system.
Larry Peterson points to a patch of Yellow Toadflax and states that you will notice that there is very little grass growing because the Toadflax chokes the native grass right out. However, they found that when they kill the Toadflax out the native grass just naturally comes back. You usually don't have to replant grass in an area like this.
