This weed thrives on moisture. It is low growing, spreading from long rhizomes. The leaves are shovel-shaped with red margins. The flowers are white and short-lived. Atrazine will provide some control.
Many people plant oaks of various types to enhance their landscapes.
One of my favorites is the Bauhinia, specifically Bauhinia blakeana that is in bloom in some areas now. There are more than 200 species in this genus. They range in color from a deep maroon to white. Most of the group will shed their leaves and then produce flowers. Some of the species will grow to 25 or more feet in height.
