Purple Nutsedge Weed Killer

Cyperus rotundus Herbicide

Description of Nutsedge, Purple (Cyperus rotundus):
Purple nutsedge is a type of sedge that is very common in the lawn. It resembles normal grass, but usually grows much faster and can be seen reaching high above the otherwise even turfgrass. Purple nutsedge is called purple due to the nutlets at the top of the plant being that color.
