About Yellow Woodsorrel
This common turf weed features heart-shaped leaflets and small yellow, five-petaled flowers that thrive in disturbed soils and sunny lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood. Its rapid growth and prolific seed production make it a persistent problem in turfgrass, competing with desirable grass species and creating uneven patches. Effective control requires consistent lawn maintenance and targeted herbicide applications.
Yellow Woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta) 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.
