A pretty invader

This vine is aggressive and spreads all over the garden. No matter how much we try rto eradicae it, it refuses to go
This Blue Trumpet as it is called is pretty to look at but it kills other plants around it.
It is a daily job to look for it and pull it out. But invariably somewhere it will show up its ugly head. I call it ugly as compared to its beauty that invasion is truly ugly.

@allknowing I'm sorry. Vinegar, salt and water? Did you try that solution?

Aye.
I have heard about this before
The Bike Trumpet
Pull it out
Don't thump it
It's not at all ugly but it would be ugly if it did all your other plants any harm
Is this a job the maid can do?
She can pull it out with you?

That’s too bad! I’ve heard Blue Trumpet vines really do have a reputation for being invasive. It’s funny how something that looks so peaceful—especially those white flowers—can be such a troublemaker in the garden! They look all innocent, but meanwhile they’re sneaking around and taking over everything. I get why you call it ugly despite its beauty—it’s that kind of beauty with a hidden agenda! Hopefully one day it gives you a break.
