Types Of Weed

These persistent invaders can be divided into 4 groups:

1. Annual Weeds

The ones that last for one growing season only but which leave their seeds for next year.

Examples:

• Fat Hen
• Chickweed
• Groundsel
• Shepherd’s Purse
• Speedwell

2. Perennial and Deep Rooted Weeds

The ones that keep coming back, year after year, that can grow again from even the smallest left-over segment.

Examples:

• Ground Elder
• Bindweed
• Couch Grass
• Creeping Thistle
• Dock

3. Woody Weeds

Seedlings and weeds that develop a woody stem.

Examples:

• Brambles
• Japanese Knotweed
• Nettles
• Sycamore Seedlings

4. Lawn Weeds

The plants that can grow so vigorously, they simply ‘suffocate’ the grass.

Examples:

• Dandelion
• Clover
• Buttercup
• Daisy
