Hawkweed

What is Hawkweed? There are around 13 types of hawkweed that are native to North America. These are capable of overtaking fields in a short period of time. Recognizing the plant is imperative to controlling hawkweed species that are not native. The plant has an attractive brightly colored dandelion-like flower that rises from a short rosette of 4- to 6-inch (10-20 cm.) long flat, narrow leaves. The leaves are covered in fine hairs, the number of which varies by species. Hawkweed stems contain a milky sap and may extend 10 to 36 inches (25-91 cm.) out from the plant. The perennial weed forms stolons, which further spread the plant.
