Weed Wednesday: Dandelions

Happy Weed Wednesday! This week we want to talk about one of the most common spring weeds that you’re likely seeing now; Dandelions.

Did you know Dandelions are considered a perennial weed? Why is this important? It means that they grow from year to year and have a significant taproot. It also spreads by sending out hundreds of seeds from every plant. Dandelions are so prolific; it is important to understand why this weed doesn’t belong in your lawn. Since the weed reproduces in 2 ways, by seeds in the spring and by spreading through the root system, it can outgrow and out-compete desirable grasses.

Many homeowners are tempted to pull this weed as soon as they see it on their lawn, but this can actually result in a larger infestation. Unless the entire plant (including the root system) is pulled, the weed will reappear and can spread rapidly in the area. A better solution? Hire ExperiGreen to control and eliminate Dandelions along with dozens of other kinds of broadleaf and grassy weeds.
