Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. Can anyone help identify this weed thats taking over my newly hydroseeded lawn? I think the loam I bought must have been full of seeds!
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

| PA Smartweed is my thought, it will be much bigger than that, but pulls out quite easily. |

| I had plenty of this weed in one part of my backyard last year. It does look like smart weed. I'm not sure why it's called smart weed--maybe because it's so pretty, you leave it alone and don't pull it. That's what I did last year; I never pulled it because it makes such a pretty ground cover--a nice thick green and pink ground covering. So nice looking. The only problem is this plant is an annual, so after producing seeds, it dies off every year. And when it dies off, all that is left behind is bare ground, unlike when Japanese clover dies off. I guess smart weed grows so thick and plush like a pretty carpet, that nothing can grow underneath it. So nowadays, I pull it when I see it because I don't like the bare ground it leaves behind when it dies every year. (It springs back next year because of the seeds it leaves behind.) When Japanese clover dies off each year, plenty of grass is left behind. So I guess smart weed isn't so smart after all :-) |

| By the way, thanks KubotaMaster for mentioning the Weeds forum. I've been reading this web board for over a year and didn't know about the weeds forum. |

| Aye no problem the weed forum is actually my first experience on this site when i started my lawncare company all the different weeds on peoples properties screwed me all up and hunting for them on the web is hard to do. it was easier to just post pics and hope someone was familiar with them. And i tell you wat i am very surprized at all the different types of weeds there are out their. I have seen weeds that look just like the one that was posted here and swore up and down it was sum kind of tree. |
