Not sure what it is called, but it is incredibly invasive!

Henbit. Part of the mint family. Spreads like a mother. Pollinators LOVE it.

Not henbit. This is Creeping Charlie, a relative. I like it as a ground cover and it smells nice. While it is invasive, it’s less resource-draining than grass and provides an early season food source for pollinators. It also smells nice when it’s blooming or cut, and doesn’t get more than an inch or two tall.

Seriously my mom planted a tiny little patch in her garden and it took a decade to get it out of the front side and back yard!

These will take over your yard. Do not plant them. kill them off ASAP, or deal with them for years.

Ground Ivy aka Creeping Charlie. Highly invasive and if you care about your lawn, it’ll take over if allowed. Kill on sight.
