Fluffy Weeds all over front lawn | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

I just noticed these within the last week.. About 15 sq feet of my yard is covered in weird fluff.

Thanks for identifying the pest weed that is trying to take over my lawn. I will try to arrange a meeting between the facelis and one of the weed killers for sometime this fall.

Cemetery weed! That’s what I called it the first time I saw it. It was trying to crowd out the residents of a local cemetery. I soon learned another name I liked. Trampweed. It wasn’t too particular where it went. Facelis is another name for this variety of Cudweed and, you’ve got it! http://www.walterreeves.com/gardening-q-and-a/trampweed-facelis-retusa/
