Botanical name: Aphanes arvensis
Family: Roseceae
Life cycle: Annual
Habitat: Parsley piert favours nutrient deficient, free draining soils. It will tolerate extremely close mowing and is often found in turf that has suffered from being mown too short.
Leaf: The small fan like leaves are deeply toothed with 3 lobes.
Flower: The tiny green flowers form at the base of the leaves and can be difficult to spot. They can be seen between May and September.
Removal & control: As this weed is shallow rooting hand weeding can prove quite effective. Keep the lawn in healthy condition with a balanced fertiliser program to help prevent weeds invading.
Parsley piert is another weed that is resistant to most selective weed killers and in all cases more than one application will be needed.
