I was thinking how to manage a plant out of place like this, not at all saying this is UGH other than it would be lots of work. It is pretty. Warm season grasses and this plant should do real well together! Bermuda is a weed. I would like to see the two growing together from a few feet away. | |
| May 23, 2018 at 3:02 | comment | added | Lorel C. | Oh, no Stormy, I put it in my grass on purpose because I think it is nice. My front grass is primarily Bermuda, and this stuff (matchweed) can live amongst the other grasses and make everything look green and alive. I was hoping it would eventually crowd out the Bermuda, which I thought I saw it doing in the place I brought it over from, but it's been like 6-10 years, and Bermuda is still there (that's the "Ugh" part). ...Succulent? Ronke's photo makes it look like one, and it may technically even be one, but its little leaves just look like regular leaves down in the grass. | |

Otherwise it would be easy to 'suppress'. short root systems. I'd get my lawn cut at least 3 1/2 inches no shorter. That should shade this plant enough to dissuade it from making your lawn its home? Maybe? Watering deep deep deeply when your grass needs water will cause that stuff to get root rot. I got stung by bald faced hornets...attacked, actually. The doc pulled out 47 stingers still pumping away. That put me in anaphylactic shock. Duh. Getting stung a few times later was no prob | |
