What comes back

  • Likely name
  • How it spreads
  • Whether it is harmful

Tips for a better result

  • Wear gloves until you know what it is.
  • Photograph roots if you've already pulled one.
  • Check local rules before using weed killer.
  • Some weeds regrow from small root pieces; remove whole roots.
  • Don't compost weeds that have gone to seed.
  • Photograph a young and a mature plant if both are present; they can look quite different.

Questions

Will it tell me how to remove it?

It gives notes on the plant's nature and safety. For control methods, check local gardening advice.

Is it dangerous to my dog?

See the Safety tab, and contact your vet if your dog has eaten an unknown plant.

Can it identify grass weeds?

Grasses are hard to tell apart from photos; include seed heads for the best chance.

Cost?

1 credit.

Is it a weed or a wildflower?

A weed is just a plant growing where you don't want it. Some are harmless or good for bees; identifying it first helps you decide.
