Henbit, Deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), Lamiaceae Family, naturalized, winter/cool season annual, invasive

Henbit usually emerges in January or so and provides pink or lavender flowers when very few plants are blooming. It reseeds prolifically and is very invasive. I find the small blooms very pretty, but pull most of the plants from my flowerbeds. I leave a few because I like the blooms and the foliage as well. This ensures that I will havw a lot to pullup the following year, however.
