About Virginia Buttonweed
This low-growing, spreading weed with small, white, button-like flowers often invades lawns in Middle Tennessee, including areas like Columbia and Franklin. Virginia buttonweed (Diodia virginiana) damages turf by forming dense mats that choke out desirable grasses, leading to thin, unhealthy lawns. Effective management includes early detection and targeted herbicide treatments to protect your lawn’s health and appearance.
