DESCRIPTION:
Pigweeds are annual plants that germinate from seeds from late winter through summer. Several species occur;
the most common is redroot pigweed. Seedlings of all common pigweeds are similar. Seed leaves are long and narrow and are often red underneath. Prostrate pigweed (bottom, right) forms dense mats. Leaves have distinctive light colored edges. Tumble pigweed plants (top, left) have flowers in leaf axils rather than in spikes and have smaller leaves than redroot pigweed.
