Burdock (Arctium lappa) refers to those burs that we most commonly associate with this plant (yep, those same burs that get stuck on our dog's fur). The plant can reach 6 to 8 feet in height and the burs only form during the plant's second year. The first year of growth is represented by a rosette of large, heart-shaped leaves.
