Redroot Pigweed is an uninvited guest in many gardens and fields. While it may not be the most popular plant, understanding its characteristics and management is essential for keeping it in check.
Amaranthus retroflexus is an annual weed that can grow from 1 to 8 feet (30 cm to 2.4 meters) tall. It sports lance-shaped leaves, its main identification features, with green but sometimes reddish stems and tiny greenish flowers that mature into thousands of small seeds.
