I cut them to the ground, put RoundUp on them, and they still grow back! How
do I kill these darn things? Thank you.Get a shovel and dig them up. I'm not familiar with Bird of Paradise,

but when I want something gone I dig it up. Many plants are hard to
kill. Some of them will send out runners and shoots when you whack
them to the ground making it even harder to kill the plant. Dig them
up and throw them away or give them to somebody who wants them.

Happened to my dad. He had a tree too near the house so he hired
somebody who cut it down, then ground out the stump. But did not kill
the tree anywhere in there; so ever since he's had shoots popping up
all over the lawn. I mean, all over.
