| Many
fields in central Kentucky are purple with henbit every spring. Henbit,
lamium aplexicaule, is an annual weed that thrives in turfland.
It's a member of the mint family. A mass of henbit blooming in
a field of bluegrass is a stunning sight. And because henbit blooms,
dies, and gets out of the way by late in May, it's not terribly harmful to
the grass beneath. Dandelions, of course, are dandelions. |
