How do I control common chickweed, speedwell, and hairy bittercress (Stellaria media, Veronica sp., and Cardamine hirsuta) in a home lawn in Spotsylvania County Virginia?
Date of Correspondence: May 10, 2004 Website Resources: http://cardamine.hirsuta.turfweeds.net http://veronica.arvensis.turfweeds.net http://stellaria.media.turfweeds.net Recommendation: These weeds are all winter annuals and will die with repeated mowing and warm weather. Broadleaf herbicides for use in the home lawn and that contain at least two active ingredients from the following list (2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba, triclopyr, and clopyralid) will control hairy bittercress and common chickweed but not speedwell. A professional product (quinclorac; Drive 75DF) is needed for speedwell control. Always follow instructions on the label of any pesticide.
