is a low growing winter annual. The fan shaped hairy leaves alternate
on the stems. The leaves contain three lobes and each lobe is subdivided
again into 3 - 4 lobes.
The flowers

Cultural Practices:
Young plants may be physically removed. Use of good turf management programs,
including a sound fertilization program, to form dense stands of turf
grass may assist in prevention of parsley-piert infestation.
Herbicide Use:
For optimum control of parsley-piert, make your postemergent herbicide
application to plants that are actively growing and in the seedling to
flower stage of growth.
