Susan, I have some patches like that too.  Verbena bonariensis is very 
insistent on its survival--but you're talking about 25 square feet of wall to 
wall bonariensis!!!  Wow.  I have a similar patch elsewhere of self-sown 
cleome--not quite 5 x 5, but maybe a 3' diameter circle.  Of course I'm 
leaving many of those because they help deter deer, so I've been told.  For 
the cleome I will let a few of the tallest seedlings survive and just grab 
tghe remaining ones by handfuls and pull.  I usually only have to do this 
once a season.
