Dovefoot Geranium (Geranium molle), also known as Crane's Bill Geranium and Woodland Geranium is a common lawn and garden weed on both the East and West Coasts.

The leaves of the plant are round, and eclipse the plant's small purple flower in size.

The root does not plant especially deep, however is does branch out. Pulling is the recommended organic remedy. However, because the plant grows so hardily, it can overtake a lawn, making for an onerous task.
