Michelle,

When I "googled" henbit I found that they recommend the basic stuff (mulch,=
pull,
cultivate) Here's an excerpt from one site -
"Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) is a mint cousin that's common in gardens in =
the eastern
half of the United States. In the north it is a spring annual. In the south=
, henbit sprouts in
fall and blooms in early spring. The pretty pink flowers are attractive, bu=
t the spreading
plants will take over a lawn or garden. Mulch discourages this weed, which =
needs sun to
sprout and grow. Henbit is easily controlled by pulling. When cultivating s=
oil infested with
henbit, rake out the plants to keep them from rerooting."
This is the web link for more details -

I guess it is so difficult to control because it is in the mint family. Goo=
d luck!

Since we live in the sun that must be why it grows all year here.
