Notes:
This plant looks similar to Verbena. The Verbena I find and that I grow as a flower has a much longer leaf. This covers my vegetable garden in the winter and it grows in my lawn. I would like to know how to control it.

This is henbit (Lamium amplexicaule). You can frequently find it growing with purple dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) and/or ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea). I usually just hand-pull it from places I don’t want it.

This is henbit. Go to walterreeves.com and type in henbit. It tells you how to control it.

Henbit. It’s spread by seeds. Blooms in winter. In lawns it can be controlled with a per-emergegent. In your garden, just pull it and eat it in salads. It has a nutty flavor.
