Thank you, DAVES

We no longer have any grass areas and are establishing a wildflower "meadow" but there is grass growing in it - straight up from the soil, not along a runner. We did have St Augustine, but I suspect this is a wild variety as we border a preserve, and that's where the rest of our weeds come in from.

Mrs Fox does a good job of hand-pulling anything we don't want to keep - with moral support from me, of course - but I was hoping that a southern equivalent of Yellow Rattle would save her some effort, as that is what those northern folk use to control grass when establishing a wildflower meadow.
