Weed with deep roots and rhubarb-like stem
Posted: 08 Jul 2018, 18:52
Hello all!
The pictured weed has proven difficult to get rid of -- mostly due to it's *very deep* roots -- as we've tried removing it once, since had new lawn put down, and now it's coming back
Characteristics I've observed that aren't obvious from the photos:
- Rhubarb-like stems on mature specimens.
- Leaves typically green, but can also be a ruby colour.
- Very deep roots.
Any idea what it might be?
Bonus points for the best weedkiller to get rid of it (we have a new lawn that they're popping back up on, so something lawn friendly!).
Many thanks in advance
