| we resodded last year, went with bahia, works well in Florida, not the water hog like St Augustine. Anyway, I have noticed this weed, seems to be spreading like wildfire. Does not matter if it is a high traffic area or not. The runners can get quite long, most of the runners are purplish in color. I have scoured the web and this site. Does anyone know what it it? Thanks in advance

| cant remember what its called, I have it too. Its easy to get rid of, 2,4-d applied once will cure it. It will take about 2 weeks for it to die. |

| Did anyone ever determine what exactly the name of this nuisance weed is called? It is wreaking havoc all over my yard, but not for long if I have my way. |

| Might be this: Florida Betony or Rattlesnake Weed: Stachys floridana. I found weeds using a browser search via Bing, with the search words -- florida weeds. |

| Well guys, I HATE This weed! A local Central Florida authority and horticulturist Mr. Tom McCubbin has emailed me and told me this nuisance is called MATCHWEED. I thought it was initially the Virginia Buttonweed. 2,4- D does have an effect on it Tom says, but repeat applications may be necessary. The TAP roots ever so often on this crap are brutal. |
