Weed ID #268528

Asked August 08, 2015, 10:23 AM EDT

Can you ID these weeds for me? They have really started to spread in the last 6 weeks

Horry County South Carolina

One is Chamberbitter, a warm season annual weed. For more detailed information visit:

The other looks like Virginia Buttonweed, a perennial weed.
Both of these weeds can be difficult to control.

For the Virginia Buttonweed, be sure to keep the area well drained and free of excess moisture (because Va Buttonweed thrives in excess moisture). Additional information can be found here:

I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Millie
