Definition
Any tough, hardy plant that is difficult to kill or remove, particularly desert or drought-resistant plants.
Etymology
From 'hard' (Old English heard, tough/resistant) + 'weed' (Old English weod, unwanted plant). The descriptive compound emerged in agricultural and botanical contexts to describe resilient plant species.
Kelly Says
Hardweeds are nature's survivors—plants like tumbleweed and creosote bush thrive in deserts where tender plants die, using waxy coatings and deep roots that seem almost unfairly engineered for harsh environments.
