Andropogon virginicus
About Broomsedge
This invasive turf weed, Andropogon virginicus, is characterized by its coarse, gray-green foliage and tall, wiry growth that can reach up to three feet. Common in disturbed areas and poor soils around Middle Tennessee locations like Franklin and Brentwood, broomsedge crowds out desirable turfgrass, reducing lawn quality and aesthetic appeal. Effective control requires targeted lawn care practices to restore healthy grass growth.
Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus) is a turf weed commonly found in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Weed Identification Library.
As lawn care and treatment specialists, we identify and treat Broomsedge regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward selecting the right herbicide and timing for effective control.
