Dollarweed growing in a garden.

By Lorenzarius - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, “Pennywort”

Dollarweed

Whether you want to call it dollarweed or pennywort, this perennial loves the water and thrives in warm temperate regions. Dollarweed is recognizable by its bright green, rounded leaves with wavy margins and its small, white flower bloom from July to August.

Dandelion growing in a garden.

Dandelion

We all love to hate the infamous dandelion, because it can grow deep taproots in any soil type. It loves to pop up in the sunniest areas of your lawn.

Clover growing in a lawn.

“Trifolium repens 001” by H. Zell (Own work) or CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons

Clover

We’re not talking about the 4-leaf kind. This clover has 3 round leaflets on 2–4″ stalks and in the summer has white or pink-tinged flowers. It flourishes in underfed lawns by absorbing nitrogen from the air, which lawns cannot do.

Yellow Nutsedge growing in a garden.

“Cyperus esculentus” by Blahedo (Own work) CC BY-SA 2.5 via Wikimedia Commons

Yellow Nutsedge

This grass-like lawn weed prefers moist soil, but, unfortunately, does fine just about anywhere. In the summer you’ll find it growing rapidly above the turf. You can spot it by its light green color and v-shaped, triangular stems.
