Yes, that's dogbane. It's a type of milkweed.
It has become a real issue in my area in the last 10 years or so.
When I first noticed it, I was not concerned thinking that as a broadleaf weed it could be easily controlled with 2-4-D, etc. As a result, I ignored it when I had only one rather small patch.

I plan to experiment with Crossbow this fall. Dogbane is on the label of controlled weeds but I've heard from others that it is only effective if everything is just about perfect and even then it will likely take multiple applications.
If the Crossbow does not work, I will try Milestone. County Agent tells me that Milestone is more likely to work.
