Re: Is this aster that grows like a weed

Hello @Pcan

 

Because we are heading towards the colder months, I recommend applying a slow-release fertilizer on your turf and manually removing as many weeds as you can. The only pre-emergent herbicide I'm aware of is the BASF 1kg Amgrow Freehand Lawn Herbicide. However, it is only effective for three months. The suggested time for the application of this product is in spring. 

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Noelle and @Adam_W for their recommendations on what to use on winter weeds.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @Pcan is that in lawn or garden (or everywhere)? And does it have some pink as well as white flowers?

Hi @Adam_W 

 

Mostly on the lawn. It hasn't appeared as yet but will in Spring.

 

Thanks

Generally white. There are yellow ones too.
