You might leave some part of the plant behind, where it simply grows from the fragment.
Persistence is key.

This is my process as well. Also, we just replaced our edging (thin metal) with a block wall and a compacted gravel edge in front. My hope is that it will slow (not stop) intrusion of the zoysia grass from the lawn. If nothing else, it will make it easier to spray and not have the Roundup hit the grass in the yard I don't want killed.
I use rocks not mulch. Weeds more easily grow in mulch, as it is organic.
