About Large Crabgrass
This aggressive summer annual weed features coarse, wide leaves and sprawling growth that can quickly overtake lawns, especially in sunny, disturbed areas around Columbia and Spring Hill. Large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) thrives in warm, dry conditions and competes with turfgrass for nutrients and water, resulting in unsightly patches and weakened lawns. Effective control involves pre-emergent herbicides and maintaining dense, healthy turf.
Large Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) 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.
