Turfgrass's Least WANTED Weeds - Bindweed

HOW TO IDENTIFY This weed has winding and twining stems that grow along the ground up to 6.5 in length and often get wrapped up in other plants and structures. The flowers are bell-shaped, with white to pinkish petals. Leaves grow alternate and are arrow-head in shape.
WHERE IT GROWS
This plant can flourish in sun or shade and is extremely drought-tolerant. It’s found in fields, turf, farmland and residential areas.
HOW TO MANAGE
It’s recommended to use herbicides technologies like Lazer® to help prevent the weed from growing before it emerges. Herbicides can also be used after the weed has been established, but it’s more difficult. It’s especially difficult if herbicides are not used, as pulling the weed will only result in regrowth, as the roots are left in the soil and the plant regenerates within 2 weeks.
