It has a beautiful bright green that shouts spring, but, unfortunately, that's where the pleasure stops. It's a chunky clumper that makes the yard look raggedy when mowed. The silky fine and tender blades are topped by a white bloom. Pull clumps by hand or mow. Healthy, happy turf is said to at least discourage this stuff.
Compound leaves grow in groups of three toothy parts.
It proliferates, so mow it, live with it or look for a herbicide. Carolina geranium may sound ornamental, but the weed's flowers are pinkish affairs that are too small to admire. The plant form is scraggly, and deeply cut leaves grow on reddish stems. It reproduces by seed, so do pull it before the flowers turn into a seed capsule that looks kind of like astork's bill. This winter annual pulls easily, and, again, dense, happy turf helps diminish this pest.
