Field burrweed is characterized by its low-growing, sprawling habit, usually not exceeding 2 inches (5 cm) in height. Its slender stems radiate outward from a central point, forming a mat-like appearance. The foliage comprises small, feathery leaves that are arranged oppositely along the stems. During its winter growth season, it produces inconspicuous flowers followed by prickly burs that can be unpleasant to the touch. This broadleaf annual thrives in disturbed areas such as lawns and compacted soils.
