    Large areas of my lawn are being chocked with this plant and it is popping up everywhere. I need to get rid of it.


    What is it? How do I control it?

    Thanks in anticipation

    Hawkweed (Hieracium Sp.) perhaps?

    I had discounted hawkweed because I have seen no flowers in the last 2 years, however as I keep it mowed short, maybe thats why.
    Having read up on hawkweed, It looks like I may have to completely clear and reseed the larger areas as there is hardly any grass left.
