Kill grass by pulling it from around lily turf. Liriope or lily turf (Liriope muscari) works well as a border or foundation plant. Lily turf features grasslike, dark green foliage and vibrant purple flowers making it a welcome addition to many yards.
On the other hand, if the violets have invaded a larger area of your lawn, you have to make a decision: 1) kill both the grass and violets and start over, 2) if you are very patient, paint every violet leaf in sight, or 3) learn to live with the violets (the flowers can be quite attractive!). hate to be the bearer of bad news, but once violets have established a foothold in your lawn, they are extremely difficult to get rid of. Unfortunately, we have no good selective herbicide for violets.
