The weed originates in South America but is known in New Zealand as Onehunga weed as it was first noticed in this Auckland suburb.
Onehunga weed is probably New Zealand’s most hated weed. It is the rotter that spoils otherwise fun Summer time lawn activities. The seeds lie dormant under the soil until the wet weather arrives in Autumn, causing the seeds to germinate and grow over Winter. These seeds are viable for up to 7 years! Once the plant is established it produces clusters of thorny seeds that are painfully distributed by unsuspecting bare feet.
