Butterweed

Erigeron canadensis is distributed across much of North America, including regions such as Newfoundland, Alberta, and British Columbia, as well as in parts of Europe, including Belgium and its regions. This species is commonly found in disturbed habitats and is recognized for its rapid growth and adaptability. It is a member of the Asteraceae family, which includes daisies and sunflowers. The plant is also known by several other common names, including Canadian fleabane and coltstail. Its ability to develop resistance to glyphosate has made it a significant concern in agricultural settings.
