Weed and invasive plants of Ventura County

Jul 17, 2009

One of the most common walk-in questions we receive in the UCCE office is weed identification. Did you know that our website has a fantastic page for weed and invasive plant id? It can be found here.

Part of what makes this such a great resource is the variety of ways to search. You can search by plant names in alphabetical order – both by scientific name and common name. In addition you can flip through photos and find the name of the plant. The flip through section is separated into broad leaf varieties and grasses, sedges, and alliums varieties.

Regardless of how you find them, the photos show several shots of each plant. As often as possible, pictures at different life stages are provided.

After identifying your weed, further information is available with a click of the mouse!
