But they spread like wildfire in the early spring, the clover-like leaves shade and choke the St Augustine, keeping it from covering like it should and creating open areas that other weeds can then take over.

I never had a problem with them spreading too much. They are so cute and dainty, and I enjoy them like the little bluets that pop up each spring ! mitzilou Quote \| Reply \| Report
