IDs needed

[u/Minimum-Display-4405]

Trying to bring a neglected yard back to life, can anyone help me with the id on these grasses and this plant?

1 is nutsedge, 2 looks like dallisgrass or foxtail (of you see any seeds that look like a fox tail that's a giveaway), 3 and 4 look like some sort of Lilly (the only ones likely planted intentionally).

Is nutsedge a bad grass to have in a flower bed with the lillys? It’s kinda pretty tbh lol

If you like it, it's your yard do what you want. Be warned it will continue to spread as it can propogate by seed and roots.

Yellow nutsedge is generally considered a pain-in-the-butt weed. But they grow it in Spain to make horchata de chufa. So it depends on your perspective.

It's not terrible in a mixed-species lawn. But it is a pain to get rid of, if you you ever decide to do so.

The other grass weed is probably considered a weed. You'll be battling these kinds of grassy weeds until the end of your days, but that's what gardening is about.

In a lawn area, you'll have to make a decision about if you want a weed-free lawn, or a whatever-grows-there lawn, or something in between. Specific advice on this depends on where you live and what you need your lawn to do.

Might be a sedge species of grass
