kennett Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Definitely Yarrow. Mares tail is a straight stemmed plant with tubular type "leaves" all around the stem. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=690 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapid rich Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 So probably lesser of 2 evils ? Any recommendations for getting rid of it? Thanks lads, all replies much appreciated Rich 2 hours ago, ditchman said: thats not horse tails does it produce a small white flower I think it does if lawn not cut for a while, but I usually keep it fairly short. It's only in 3 patches maybe 8ft square in a fairly large lawn.... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Two or three applications of Verdone will get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
