Cheryl Gyles on May 23, 2016I'm going to agree with Roseann ^^. It's a perennial plant, so will come back every year. Usually has purple or bluish flowers.Helpful Reply

Sandra on May 23, 2016It's not a plant. It's a weed. We have them and my husband pulls them from our lawn anytime he sees one. I suppose if there are flowers his active clicking doesn't allow me to see flowers.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on May 23, 2016It looks like a weed. If it's spiderwort , which some claim it is as they have expertly decided this by looking at a photo, and it us indeed invasive, then treat it as a weed and pull it out.Helpful Reply

LadyJoker on May 24, 2016Remember spiderwort also flowers (look it up online) and you can keep it at bay by digging it up and put in a large peatmoss pot - with the bottom slit open to keep it from spreading where you don't want it - I have a few in my yard and the purple flowers accent my other vinesHelpful Reply

Kathleen Conery on May 24, 2016There is a strong visual similarity between nut sedge and spiderwort. You might have to wait for flowers to tell... the sedge has tiny spiky flowers and the spiderwort has three petaled usually blue. a difference you might be able to see now is whether the stem is triangular... if so it is nut sedge. Both are aggressive growers (sedge is the worse of the too) and you may want to dig them up if you don't want that area taken over. Interestingly a great many people grow spiderwort as a garden flower quite deliberately. They just thin them out and/or divide them every few years.Helpful Reply

Dawn Corrigan on May 24, 2016Yes it is Spiderwort. After its done blooming you wack it off and it will regrow and flower a second time each summer.Helpful Reply

Cheryl Gyles on May 24, 2016As I overheard recently, "ANY plant is a weed if you don't want it" LOL! As Kathleen Conery suggested, wait until it blooms to get a more definitive answer. Yes, Spiderwort is sometimes sold in garden centers, and would be considered invasive by some because it multiplies rapidly if not kept in check. I prefer to think of it as more "free" plants....they can be divided and spread elsewhere if you so choose.Helpful Reply

Anna M.S. on May 24, 2016Nut sedge was and continues to be my answer. As to waiting to see the bloom to finalize an identification, consider my expensive solution to removing nut sedge from my St. Augustine grass lawn. My FORMER lawn spray service told me that my contract did not cover nut sedge (I knew that about crab grass). A special spraying was necessary, costing $35 each of two times, two weeks apart, to kill the nut sedge. A trip to my neighborhood Ace Hardware store gave my the answer--Basagran. Yes, the bottle was $35, but it was enough for the two sprayings, and a sweet good-bye to that lawn service.Helpful Reply

Barbara on May 24, 2016I agree. It is nut sedge and a problem in my fescue lawn and in my flower beds. The only thing positive that I can say is that it's easily pulled, but it always returns. I used a product to kill it in my grass that was suppose not to kill my fescue. It killed my fescue. The nut sedge returned with vigor.Helpful Reply

Dwi5997718 on May 26, 2016this is an invasive, hardy grass that blooms so it can make MORE SEEDS AND SPREAD, so pull up all you can find by the roots and burn it.Helpful Reply
