The Chickweed is a common weed throughout Australia. But, if you keep your lawn nice and healthy, it is unlikely that you’ll ever see the Chickweed creeping in.

Chickweed is a small weed with shiny leaves. Each weed has multiple stems that each produce a single white flower. It is a relatively weak plant with a very fine root system. Because of this, it struggles to grow in strong lawns.

Due to it being a relatively weak weed, it’s easy to get rid of. You can pull them out by hand or even just mow over it to eradicate this weed. Chickweed isn’t able to grow back after its leafy top half has been removed, so regular mowing will ensure it stays away.
