Weed Growing in Northern Illinois Lawn | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This is aggressively spreading in my yard in northern Illinois. I’m not familiar with it, or know how to get rid of it.

Bobby Master Identifier says:

Parsley piert is a winter annual that is pretty common in low maintenance Georgia lawns. USDA does report its distribution includes Illinois. Repeat post emergent applications in cool season turf may provide you with satisfactory results in Illinois. https://plants.usda.gov/java/largeImage?imageID=apmi_005_ahp.jpg Hopefully this will help! Your State University extension service would be most helpful. Good luck!
