Spring is my favorite time of year. The bright beautiful tulips and daffodils…the cute tiny purple flowers that add color to any lawn….Wait, those aren’t supposed to be there. They are a pretty purple color, but they don’t belong in my lawn. The purple flowers I am referring to are the flowers of the notorious weed henbit. These pesky weeds have square stems and really come up in the fall. They wait until spring to truly identify themselves with their signature purple blooms. Since these weeds are winter annuals that come up in the fall, it is too late at this point to effectively kill and treat it. Herbicides will burn back the plants, but rarely kill it. With the rate the henbit is growing, even most spot treatments will not be effective. The most effective treatment now is to keep it mowed and mark your calendars now to treat it in the fall.
