Curly
dock gets its name from its curled leaf margins. Curly dock can also
grow in a low rosette from and thus be a problem in home lawns. Because
of its ability to revert to the rosette growth pattern, it is not easily
controlled by mowing. Curly dock can be found in cultivated crops
and pastures. |

reproduces by seed and the seed heads will be found at the ends of stems
on the top part of the plants. The rust colored seeds are three-sided
and very shiny. |
