Bindi

Bindi (Soliva sessilis), also known as Bindii or Jo-Jo, is a prickly annual weed that commonly infests lawns and recreational areas. It features small, fern-like leaves and produces tiny, spiky seed pods that can be painful to step on. Bindi spreads rapidly, especially in compacted soils and poorly maintained lawns. Effective control involves maintaining a healthy lawn through proper mowing, fertilization, and the use of selective herbicides designed to target and eliminate Bindi.

The most reliable way to get rid of bindii before it sets those painful prickles is a selective broadleaf herbicide like Bow & Arrow, applied while the weed is still young and actively growing in winter to early spring.
