Lawn Weeds
Weeds in the lawn can be any plant that disrupts the uniform
appearance of the green expanse of grass. Most weeds fall into
two categories: broadleaf and grassy-type.
Healthy lawns will aggressively crowd out most weed seeds that
germinate. Unhealthy lawns that are thin or week, are easy targets
for weed seeds to take root and establish themselves.
Another division of lawn weeds are whether or not they are
annual or perennial. Annual weeds are those that live for up
to 12 months, and not necessarily 12 consecutive months. Some
annual weeds will spout during the first season, and then return
the following season to flower and re-seed.
Perennial weeds are defined as weeds that live for at least
3 growing seasons or longer.
