Weed Identification and Control

18 years ago

Hello,

I am having a huge problem with a certain weed spreading in my lawn. This weed will grow eight to ten inches tall in places if left without cutting. It has an unusual cross shape with three sprouts coming out of a central seed ball. Does anyone know what type of weed it is, and what herbicide I could use to exterminate it?

For size reference, the grass in the photos is St. Augustine.

Thanks for you help!

CJ
