Overview
Bieberstein Chickweed is an annual herb native to the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Western Asia. It grows to 10-25 cm in height and has small white flowers with five deeply divided petals that bloom from May to July. It's a hairy plant with a deeply lobed stem and lance-shaped leaves that wrap around branched stems. It's often found in gardens or dry rocky areas but is considered an invasive weed in North America since it quickly spreads and can outcompete native species.
