Expert Response
Veronica usually goes summer-dormant or dies out entirely by summer, so might start yellowing as soon as we return to a stretch of warm weather. If Veronica/Speedwell is not listed on the product label for the herbicide(s) you have been using, consider a different product, or just dig them out if there aren't too many of them. You could always spot-treat stubborn clumps with glyphosate to kill the roots, for example. When Speedwell colonizes a lawn, it might indicate the turf is either under-fertilized or has become too sparse, possibly from lack of overseeding with vigorous cultivars.
