Butterbur Care

It is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to Europe and northern Asia.

The species is dioecious, the male and female flowers being borne on separate plants. In Britain, the male flowers are widespread, but the female flowers have a restricted distribution in northern and central England.[1]:810 The flowers are produced in the early spring, before the leaves appear. They are pale pink, with several inflorescences clustered on a 5–20 cm (2–8 in) stem. The leaves are large, on stout 80–120 cm (31–47 in) tall stems, round, with a diameter of 40–70 cm (16–28 in) with petioles up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in).

How to get rid of: Weeds can be removed manually by uprooting or cutting them close to the ground from time to time.
