DESCRIPTION:
Field madder is a warm-season annual broadleaf weed.
Cotyledons (seed leaves) are egg shaped, with the narrow end at the base, nearly as wide as long, and often with an indented tip. The stem above the cotyledon is square in cross-section. True leaves are 1/2 inch
(12 mm) long, pointed, rough-edged, and arranged along the stem
in whorls of fours,
fives, or sixes. Stems are widely branched and spread to 10 inches
(25 cm) long. Blue or pink flowers are very small and clustered
in groups
on tips of stems.
