A low, spreading weed of the mint family with small purplish flowers and rounded, scalloped leaves.
Henbit is a type of dead-nettle native to Europe and Asia that has spread widely as a garden and lawn weed. It sprouts in autumn or early spring and carpets bare soil with pink-purple blooms that bees visit eagerly. Chickens are said to like eating it, which is the likely origin of the name. Gardeners usually pull it by hand, though the young leaves are edible.
