How to recognize it
Tall, coarse grass with a white vein down the center of each blade and large purplish seed heads.
Why it shows up
It spreads by thick underground rhizomes and seed, so pulling or mowing alone doesn't stop it.
How we treat it
Selective spot treatment in turf or nonselective treatment in beds and fence lines, repeated as it regrows from rhizomes.
What you can do
- Don't let it go to seed
- Treat fence lines where it creeps in
