What is Crabgrass?
Crabgrass is an annual weed that can quickly invade your lawn. Identified by its thin stems and wide leaves with reddish or purple hues, this unwanted plant produces thousands of seeds every fall. These seeds survive the winter and begin to germinate as early as August, contributing to the spread of crabgrass in sparse or poorly maintained lawns. Understanding the characteristics of this harmful weed is essential for maintaining a dense and healthy lawn.
Crabgrass: A Threat to Your Lawn
Crabgrass poses a real threat to a healthy lawn. As it grows rapidly, this annual weed suffocates desired grass, creating an irregular and less green lawn. Its ability to produce thousands of germinating seeds allows crabgrass to easily settle in sparse areas or zones with inadequate mowing height. Without proper treatment, it can reduce the density of the grass and compromise the health of the lawn.
