Main page Habit Foliage Flowers Roots Seedlings
Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) seedling leaves (cotyledons)
are narrow and long, and they lack a distinct midvein bisecting each leaf.
First true leaves initially appear small and red.
True leaves eventually grow to be more broad than cotyledons, with a
distinct midvein.
