Burdock is a European immigrant. This large perennial has huge, oval basal leaves with a sand paper-like texture. The first year’s growth is a large rosette of leaves. The second year produces a large thick leafed stalk top with burr-like purple flowers, which form into those Velcro-like seed heads, which hook onto clothing, fur and hair. The burrs are chaff-like, the seeds loosely bound within. The roots are carrot-like, fibrous and slightly aromatic. At maturity they average one to two feet long. Burdock prefers rich, moist soil. Roots are dug in early spring or late autumn.
