Henbit — the name comes from the fact that hens like to eat it — is a fuzzy little perennial weed with purple flowers that grow from buds attached to a green to purple square-shaped stem.
It has branching roots and pretty purple flowers.
This sturdy plant with shallow roots typically grows 5 to 11 inches tall and has deep green heart-shaped leaves with scalloped edges that have deep lobes on the underside.
