Ragweed
Ambrosia artemisiifolia
About Ragweed
This common turf weed features deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and greenish flower spikes that produce large amounts of pollen, often triggering allergies. Thriving in disturbed soils and sunny areas, ragweed can quickly invade lawns and gardens around Middle Tennessee locations like Spring Hill and Franklin, outcompeting desirable turfgrass. Its aggressive growth and allergenic pollen make early identification and control essential for maintaining healthy, comfortable outdoor spaces.
Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) 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 Ragweed regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward selecting the right herbicide and timing for effective control.
