No, more like a big polygonum leaf, only not pointed on the end. I've never let them flower so I don't know what they send up.
The white roots are thickish at times and travel feet and feet across (under ground) and then every once in a while there is a cluster of small roots. The greenery shoots up everywhere, with rambling or clustered roots. The roots are 12-16" underground and even cling tenaciously to the cement foundation of the house (I literally have to scrape them off with the shovel to dislodge). I have spent HOURS weeding it out, trying to trace and get every small piece of root, but it keeps coming up. I seemed to have acquired it around the time I got a load of horse manure -- but got it no where else in the garden but this small bed so that may have been coincidental. I have tried Round up to no avail.
I will try to find some weed sites; so far no one has been able to identify it, including my local premiere nursery that have books and books and excellent staff help.
BIG SIGH!
