Fall panicum is an annual grassy weed that loves water. It can grow up to 4' tall, and spreads when its nodes touch the ground. A native of Florida, Fall panicum has travelled along drainage ditches, waterways, and stream banks to much of the rest of the country. Here's how you can keep it out of your yard.
Fall panicum doesn't have deep roots, so you can pull it out by hand. It may be a messy job, since the plant is always by water, but you'll be successful.
You can treat it with a grass herbicide that's safe on lawns and landscaping. In other areas, a product containing glysophate, such as Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer, is a good option.
You can keep fall panicum from growing in your yard the easy way. In early spring, apply a crabgrass pre–emergent such as Scotts® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer.
