Effective weed control starts with knowing your enemy. Below are some of the most common weeds found in Cape Town lawns, gardens, and paved areas.

A familiar broadleaf lawn weed with a basal rosette of deeply serrated leaves and bright yellow flower heads that mature into fluffy seed heads. Dandelions have deep taproots.

Easy to recognize by its trifoliate leaves (three round leaflets) and small white flower clusters. It creeps low and can quickly form dense patches in lawns.

Known locally as “souring,” it has three heart-shaped leaflets and bright yellow, five-petaled flowers. It grows from tiny underground bulbs, making it very persistent.

A bright light-green annual grass that forms tufts in lawns during the cool, wet winter months. It produces many seed heads, even when mown short.

Often mistaken for grass, this sedge has a distinctive triangular stem and waxy, yellow-green leaves. It spreads via underground tubers ('nutlets'), making it very difficult to control.

A nasty summer weed known for its hard, spiky seed burrs that can puncture tires and hurt feet. This prostrate weed often invades lawns and sandy soils.
...and many others, including Chickweed, Plantain, Capeweed, Port Jackson, and Lantana.
