Kill grass by pulling it from around lily turf. Liriope or lily turf (Liriope muscari) works well as a border or foundation plant. Lily turf features grasslike, dark green foliage and vibrant purple flowers making it a welcome addition to many yards.
One way to kill dandelions is to use a systemic selective herbicide for dandelions in your yard or a nonselective herbicide for dandelions in your patio or sidewalk. Spray on a windless day when the temperatures are between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 to 29 degrees Celsius) [source: The Lawn Advisor ]. Dig up the dandelions by the root with a shovel, weeder, dandelion digger tool or aerator. 2  The root, called taproot, can grow up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) long! 3  You must remove the whole root or it will grow back. 4  Spray horticultural vinegar on dandelions that aren't in your lawn or garden.
