Rumex crispus
About Rumex crispus
This invasive turf weed features tall, reddish-brown seed stalks and distinctive wavy, curled leaves that thrive in disturbed soils and compacted areas common in Middle Tennessee lawns, including Franklin and Brentwood. Its deep taproot makes control difficult, and it competes aggressively with turfgrass, reducing lawn quality and uniformity. Effective management often requires targeted herbicide applications and proper lawn care practices to prevent establishment.
Rumex crispus 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.
