Over the past two or three years some patches of fast growing "grassy
weeds" have shown up here and there on my lawns. After mowing, this
stuff seems to grow two or three times as fast as the turf grasses, and
sticks up noticable in a couple of days.

I'm hoping there's a selective herbicide to let me rid my lawns of this
stuff, which seems to be popping up in more places each year.

Looks like nutsedge, a devil to eradicate. Lots of online sites can give
details on how to remove, but this is a particularly good one. Look for a
nutsedge specific herbicide marketed under the tradename 'Manage'.
