ability to fight off weeds

When you do water your lawn, give it a deep soaking of at least one inch of water. This promotes the development of thicker roots and helps the grass to fight off weeds.

It's the job of the gardner to *suppress* weeds, digging them out and using weedkiller. But a well-chosen variety of plant can assist in the fight-back by giving the weeds no room to grow.

weed tolerance

This might be a bit off the mark, but since you seem to be talking about the characteristics of one type of plant, this might fit well.

Whatever you choose, good luck.
