Any recommendations? It's well established so preemergent won't do it.

WHY

Because I don't like it in the lawn.

Not sure what might kill it and leave the grass alone, those type weeds are pretty tough....My yard is full of ground ivy, (creeping charlie) without napalm I doubt I'd get it all, but it's ok, it's green and has pretty purple flowers and the bees like it...

Recognition, made by Syngenta, kills henbit.

It's an anual, so it could be macanicly removed, torching in the flower stage, hand picked, ect.
It's healthy. Have you tried it in a salad.

Yuck

Scott’s turf builder with weed control will kill it . It’s a never ending battle

I got some granular weed and feed this morning and will start on it
It will be on a program whether it needs it or not. Farmers here seem to have give up on it.

I really like the smell of ground ivy, when its mowed. I have dead nettle, henbit, ground ivy, wild violets, white clover, red clover, daisy, chickweed and bee balm in my grass, in different areas and like them.

Me too, I could make a heck of a salad from my yard...

I read an article about Henbit once, said the seed can lay dormant for a 100 years, waiting for a soil disturbance to sprout. That's why when driving around in the country, you see big squares/rectangles of Henbit growing where somebody had a garden then abandoned it.
