    White Clover - is a shallow rooted winter perennial legume which spreads by stolons or above ground runners. The plant takes root from the stolons at nodes along the stems when they come in contact with the soil. The white clover plant has compound leaves divided into three leaflets which are all joined at a central point and originate at the nodes along the stems. Leaves may contain a white 'watermark'. White clover is adapted to many soils but tends to grow best in soils that are moist and low in nitrogen.

    Common Mullein - also called woolly mullein due to the grey hair that covers its leaves, is an erect biennial most commonly found in pastures and along roadsides. Common mullein will invade landscape beds. Common mullein grows to height of three to six foot tall the second year, emerging from a basal rosette which forms from seed the first year. Leaves are elliptic to oblanceolate, covered with gray woolly hair and spiral alternately around an unbranched stem, decreasing in size near the top. Common mullein has a fleshy taproot. The five-petaled flowers of common mullein can be yellow or white. Flowers emerge near the top of the plant where they are crowded along the stalk. Fruit form from October to March in ovoid capsules which split in half to release several seeds. Common mullein spreads from seed.

    Prickly Lettuce - also called wild lettuce or compass plant, is a winter annual. The leaves form in a basal rosette. Prickly lettuce has a deep tap root which will exude a milky sap. Prickly lettuce will produce an upright stem on which the leaves will be alternate. The mature leaves are deeply lobed. The leaves will twist vertical to the stem. The leaves have a row of spines along the mid-vein of the lower surface. The flowers of prickly lettuce are yellow in color and approximately one third of an inch in diameter. Flowers are produced in late spring to early summer. Prickly lettuce reproduces by seed.

    Corn Speedwell - is a winter annual that germinates in mid-fall. Speedwells have a short tap root to fibrous root systems and branching upright stems. The lower leaves are near round with toothed margins. The upper leaves are more pointed. The plant is covered with fine hairs. Corn Speedwell flowers are small and white to blue in color. The flowers are found in the leaf axis and the seed develops into a distinctive heart shape.

    Creeping Woodsorrel - is similar to yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta), but is a creeping summer perennial. The leaves of Creeping Woodsorrel are deeply lobed, heart shaped, and may be green to reddish purple. Creeping Woodsorrel contains a slender taproot, and roots at nodes along slightly hairy stems. The flowers of oxalis corniculata are yellow, contain 5 petals, and form in clusters of 1 - 5 at the end of slender stems. Creeping Woodsorrel spreads by seeds.

    Crimsom Clover - is a cool-season annual. It grows to a height of 12 - 20 inches. The leaf of crimson clover is about the size of red clover. It is light green in color and covered with soft hair. The trifoliolate leaves are usually unmarked but can sometimes contain a few dark-red spots. The plant generally has minimal branching. The flower is a showy crimsom/burgundy flower. The flower head is approximately one inch in length and consists of 40 - 50 individual flowers. Crimsom clover spreads by seed which is produced during the spring to early summer.

    Cupid-Shaving-Brush - is a warm season invasive exotic annual. The stems of Cupid-shaving-brush are upright, pubescent at the base and smooth at the top. The stems can reach a height of 12 - 18 inches. The leaves have toothed margins and are mainly basal. Leaves that form on the upright stems alternately. Basal leaves have petioles, whiles the leaves that form on the stems contain no petioles, are wider at the base and clasp the stem. Cupid's-shaving-brush forms from a tap root. Flowers are formed in warm weather. The flowers are bright red to crimson or scarlet. The flower forms on long stems and contain 2 - 3 heads on each flower stalk. Cupid's-shaving-brush reproduces from seed

    Curly Dock - is a winter perennial. It contains a deep fleshy tap root. In a turf situation the leaves appear in a rosette form. The leaves are actually alternate at the top of the tap root. The oblong leaves have a wavy appearance on their edges. The flower of curly dock is almost never found in mowed turf situations. The flower are long green spikes which turns reddish brown on maturity. The flower grows 2 - 3 feet in height and appears from April to July. Due to the lack of viable seed in turf areas, curly dock spreads by root fragments.

    English Daisy - is a perennial whose leaves form a basal tuft or rosette. English daisy has a prostrate or spreading growing habit. The leaf texture varies and may be smooth or hairy. Leaves are narrow at the base and slightly lobed. The English daisy flower is typical of daisies, with white petals and yellow centers, although flowers are sometimes a pink or rose color. Plants have 3 - 4 inch flower stalks. The flower stalks are generally longer than the leaves; stems are smooth and leafless and support a single flower. English daisy reproduces by seed.

    Oxeye Daisy - is a perennial weed. The stems grow erect and can range in height from 10 - 24 inches. Oxeye daisy initially forms a rosette. The basal leaves are hairless, lobed or toothed on the margin When the stems form, the leaves form alternately and decrease in size higher up on the stem. Oxeye daisy spreads by both seed and by short rhizomes. It forms in clumps or patches. The roots are fibrous along with the short rhizomes. White flowers are produced from June through August. The flowers from in a composite shape with white ray flowers surrounding yellow disk flowers. The upper stems usually die back over the winter, but basal leaves may remain green in milder climates.
