How do I get rid of this plant, now in my lawn , borders?? Tap roots, pink flowers in summer, been digging it out for ever! Can't use weedkiller because of my lawn and plants, is there a paint on leaf type killer??

Add Roundup (Glyphosate) weedkiller to some Wall paper paste. Then you can paint it on the leaves without it hitting your wanted plants.

Itwill be more effective I think if you wait for warmer weather when the plants are growing strongly, the poison need to be taken down to the roots

Agree.
In the Lawn use a Lawn weedkiller which affects broad leaved plants but not grass.

Ok thanks for your advice, they are growing strong now even in the cold weather but don't all plants/weeds you don't want grow strong and healthy!
