Don't let the reddish flowers fool you - this plant found throughout the summer is actually a weed!

This weed goes by many names:
Rumex acetosella, sheep's sorrel, red sorrel, sour weed, and field sorrel.
No matter what name you go by, with a spreading rootstock this weed is invasive.
Look for the arrowhead-shaped leaves with small reddish flowers
that produce lots of seed that can easily overtake your garden.
This stubborn weed can be controlled by taking these proper measures...
