I’m not a lawn expert but I’ve been in enough fancy restaurants to tell you that’s broccolini.

Look up lawn burweed on the web. Some refer to it as stickerweed. LINK

Atrazine, Fertilome Weed-Free Zone, Trimec, MSM Turf, Celsius will help to kill it. Be sure to add surfactant (spreader sticker) to any of the herbicides you use.

Try using pre-emergent herbicides in fall and winter, and its much easier to control with post-emergent herbicides when small/young in late winter.

I used anderson's barricade late Jan and I swear it fueled the growth . Thanks for your help.

It's crazy because I've never had this burweed in my lawn before this year and it has taken over nearly a third of my front yard. I applied some Scott's Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed (Sam's has it on sale) and it seems to be doing some work on them.

Same here. I’ve never had this stuff through decades of thinking I’d dealt with every weed found in South Louisiana. Hadn’t ever seen it before this year and it’s EVERYWHERE.
