spider like weed with light purple flowers by: Gary Lambie
I live in Waco, Texas and a weed has taken over the city. It was not here 3 years ago. I have tried Weed b gone but new plants keep coming back. When the weed is young and wet it is easy to pull out. root grows straight down. The very small flowers grow out of the ends of spider like fingers. flower is light violet with bright yellow center. Nursery gave it a name of flower weed said to put pre emergent crabgasss granuals fotr any new plants. She said only way to get rid of it is to pull it.
