Marsh parsley is one of our less talked about summer weeds. Cyclospermum leptophyllum, also known as marsh parsley, is an invasive summer weed and a member of the carrot family. It grows in moist areas, usually near standing water. It can be identified by its finely dissected leaves and tiny seed heads that bloom into white flowers. Marsh parsley resembles wild carrot seedlings and forms mounds up to 2 feet tall.

You can prevent this weed using pre-emergent herbicides on your lawn in the fall and by making sure your grass isn’t overly wet. If you do find it in your yard, you can take care of it with a broad-leaf herbicide.
