About this weed

Common Pigweed (Amaranthus deflexus), also known as perennial pigweed, is a common pigweed in southern Africa. It can grow up to 0.5 m (1.5 ft) in height.
Amaranthus is a genus of plants in the Amaranthaceae family. Amaranth plants are typically annuals or short-lived perennials with reddish stems and simple leaves. They can be propagated from seed and can be planted by transplanting or direct seeding.
Semi-prostrate and edible, this pigweed prefers milder methods. Simply give it the hoe-down it deserves.
