Burdock is a common wild plant in fields, farmlands and along trails, so you won’t have to go hunting for it. Someone seeing it for the first time may think they are looking at rhubarb. Burdock is a biennial, meaning that it takes two years to produce seed. In the first year, it produces a rosette of rhubarb-shaped leaves. If you’ve never seen a rhubarb, the leaves are heart-shaped, or broadly ovate. The stem, however, is not red, as with rhubarb, but pale green.
