Florida Pusley

This low-growing, loosely branched annual is covered with soft hairs. Broad, oval leaves taper to a point and are opposite each other along the main stems. Florida Pusley often hugs the ground, forms dense patches and will aggressively take over thin turfgrass areas. Clusters of tiny, white, star-shaped flowers are found at the base of the uppermost leaves. Florida Pusley is spread by seed.
