How to Grow and Care for Fringed willowherb

Fringed willowherb is an annual slender herb typically elongating to about 18 inches (45 cm) tall. It features tiny seedlings that are initially slow to establish. Once matured, they exhibit elongated stems and are sometimes recognized by their ability to spread effectively via wind-dispersed seeds. The stems of fringed willowherb are often covered with tiny hairs, which can be a distinguishing characteristic. Its foliage exhibits simple leaves, usually with a somewhat serrated margin, which can assist in its identification. The control of fringed willowherb through herbicides seems to be challenging, and manual prevention of seed set is recommended to limit its proliferation.
