🌸 Henbit or Red Dead Nettle? Here’s how to tell the difference.

If you’re seeing small purple flowers popping up in your lawn this winter or early spring, it’s usually henbit or red dead nettle — two very common winter w**ds in Georgia.

🔍 Henbit
• Upright growth
• Rounded leaves with scalloped edges
• Flowers appear up and down the stem

🔍 Red Dead Nettle
• Lower, spreading growth
• Triangular leaves with a reddish or purple tint
• Flowers cluster near the top

Both w**ds:
✔️ Germinate in fall
✔️ Flower in late winter/early spring
✔️ Compete with your turf for nutrients and space

The key takeaway?
🌱 By the time they’re flowering, they’ve already been growing for months.

That’s why smart w**d control focuses on early timing and prevention, not just what you see above ground.

Seeing light green patches in your lawn this winter? 👀
That’s likely Poa annua.

This winter w**d starts months before most homeowners notice it — and once it’s visible, it’s already established.

Early timing makes all the difference.

🌱 Healthy lawns start with healthy soil.

🌧️ Rainfall, ✂️ mowing, and 🌿 plant growth change soil nutrients and pH every year — especially in Georgia’s clay soils.

That’s why smart lawn care starts below the surface. When the soil is right, everything else gets easier.

🌎 We put your lawn first — and that’s why we’re second to none.
