Description

Carolina geranium (Geranium carolinianum) is a winter annual or biennial weed that is also called cranesbill because the fruits have a conspicuous "beak" about 12 inch long. The leaves are deeply five- to seven-lobed and each lobe is again lobed and bluntly toothed. The flower is white to lavender and borne two to several together on stalks from the upper nodes. It blooms mostly in April and May.

Cultural Control

Proper turf management is important for biennial broadleaf weed control. Maintain a dense, actively growing turf through proper mowing, fertilizing, and watering practices. Mow at the proper height for your selected adapted turfgrass. Coring and traffic control reduce compaction and encourage desirable turfgrass competition. It is best to control this biennial broadleaf weed in spring or fall, if actively growing at these times.
