Senecio vulgaris

Senecio vulgaris (Common groundsel)

Where found: A tenacious deciduous annual, whose presence now encompasses the globe in a wide area of easy to somewhat difficult growing conditions.

Description: Standing only between 4 and 16 inches (10 to 41 cm) tall, bright florets mostly hidden by the characteristic bract giving it the appearance of never opening flowers and with a life span of 5-6 weeks. The self fertilizing Senecio vulgaris lives humbly among and occasionally under the other weeds and is easy to not notice.

Control: The ragwort flea beetle and ragwort seed fly have been approved and released for Senecio control in California, Australia and elsewhere.
