Most of the weeds you’d find in your lawn in Dayton are those that survive in spring and summer. However, some thrive in the colder months of winter. One of such is Henbit, which is known for its slender pink flowers resting on square-shaped stems. They grow rapidly, reaching a height of about 12 – 16inches. Another winter weed that sprouts in Dayton is the Common Chickenweed, which is characterized by its small white flowers, and egg-shaped leaves. Insects and wild birds often forage on it, and it forms part of the birdseed ingredient.
