Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) is a low growing, cool season, broadleaf, winter
annual weed from the Lamiaceae (mint) family. New plants emerge from seeds
primarily in the fall, with some early spring germination possible. It is most
often found growing in open areas, gardens, lawns, fields, and meadows. This
annual invasive plant is extremely aggressive and is known to take over entire
fields over time if not controlled early on. It competes primarily with winter
forage and grain crops. Henbit is an alternate host for corn earworm and soybean
cyst nematode, and it is an overwintering host for two-spotted spider mites in
areas of the southern United States. In a recent survey, henbit was listed as one
of the ten most troublesome and ten most common weeds of wheat and small
grains in the United States. Where commonly grown, it is an important nectar
and pollinator plant for bees, especially honeybees, as it helps start the early
spring build up. The seeds are also eaten by many species of birds. It has been
commented that Henbit was named as such because it is edible and hens, in
particular, like to eat it. The young leaves and shoots can be eaten by humans,
raw or cooked, as can the stems and flowers. Henbit has a slightly sweet and
peppery flavor, similar to celery.
Henbit is an herb with sprawling habits and short, erect, squarish, lightly hairy
stems. It grows to a height of about 16 inches. The leaves are in opposite pairs,
often with long internodes. The lower leaves are stalked and the upper ones
stalkless, often fused, and clasping the stems. The blades are hairy and
