What Weed Is This? Free Weed Identifier - Identify Weeds by Picture Online Free

Upload a clear photo of the plant and the identifier will return its scientific name, for example Taraxacum officinale for dandelion or Digitaria sanguinalis for hairy crabgrass. Including leaves and any flowers in the shot gives the best chance of a correct match.

Crabgrass has wider, lighter green blades that sprawl outward from a central point like the legs of a crab, and it dies back after the first frost. Most lawn grasses grow more upright and stay green longer into fall.

Some are: pokeweed, jimsonweed and nightshades are poisonous to dogs and cats, while dandelion and clover are generally considered low risk. Use the scientific name to check a pet poison database, and call your vet if an animal has eaten an unknown plant.

Yes, many weeds can be recognized from leaf shape, hairs and growth habit alone, although flowers make the match more reliable. If the first result looks uncertain, try again once the plant blooms.
