Many plants that we consider lawn weeds provide valuable environmental services. Like their grass companions, broadleaf weeds work to control erosion and sequester carbon.
The roots of most broadleaf weeds are fibrous in nature. The roots can be thin, a large taproot, or a combination. Many broadleaf weeds spread through their seeds and rhizomes, although some only spread through seeds. [2] Popular broadleaf weeds are chickweed, clover, dandelion, wild geranium, ivy, milkweed, plantain (broadleaf), and thistle. [4]
