A common mat forming perennial weed, with small oval type leaves, being about 6mm in width. This weed which can encroach onto lawns in shady and damp situations, including on soils which may have been damp or wet over the autumn-winter-early spring period but have since dried out. Lesser maintained and neglected turf surfaces would be more prone to this weed than where regular turf maintenance activities take place. The use of lawn sand can help to reduce the weed content, with selective weedkillers mostly having a negligible effect at best to no control at all.
