For centuries, the roots, leaves and flowers of burdock have been highly regarded for their medicinal and nutritional values. Burdock grows completely to 1 to 2 meters (3.2 to 6.5 feet), leaves grow to 50 centimeters (19.6 inches), and the bottom is white. Between June and October, plants produce purple flowers from bracts.
