Leafy Goosefoot
Blitum virgatum subsp. virgatum
Overview
Leafy Goosefoot is a low-growing perennial plant with arrow-shaped leaves and small, white flowers. It is native to Europe and North America, where it is found in moist, slightly acidic soil. The plant can reach up to 75cm in height and produces small fruit with two seeds inside. Leafy Goosefoot looks lovely when planted in a wildflower meadow or as part of a border. It can also be used as a natural ground cover. As the plant grows, the lance-shaped foliage forms a carpet of green.
