Proper cultural practices, such as proper mowing and watering, can help prevent Lysimachia nummularia by creating dense grass, which inhibits this broadleaf weed’s ability to grow. Physical removal (i.e., pulling weeds) can be effective, though you run the risk of spreading the seeds to additional areas of your lawn.
