You may have this pretty, purple native plant in bloom in your yard, otherwise known as Henbit. Your yard service will tell you that they’ll be right out to spray it with w**d killer. BUT…This plant is needed by bees that are just waking up and searching for food sources, and this is all that’s available until trees and other flowers bloom. If you can possibly resist, please leave it for now. Actually, henbit will die on its own when the weather gets too hot. The bees will thank you! 🐝
