This invasive broadleaf weed is native to Europe but now can be found in many regions across the United States. It germinates in the fall and infests lawns over the winter and in the early spring.

Control

Cardamine hirsute can be difficult to control because it has hairy leaf surfaces that resist herbicide uptake. Professionally selected and applied broadleaf weed killers—based on your specific climate and geography—are the most effective method for control.
