Hairy crabgrass
Digitaria sanguinalis
Hairy crabgrass is a vigorous warm-season annual weed that establishes rapidly in lawns, gardens, and disturbed soils across a wide range of climates. It spreads prolifically by seed and can be difficult to control once established, so early removal or pre-emergent herbicide application is recommended. It is generally considered a lawn pest rather than a desirable garden plant.
