Definition: Broadleaf means having relatively broad rather than needle-like or scale-like leaves. "Broadleaf" is often applied to lawn and garden weeds fitting that description, to separate them from other weeds for purposes of categorization. One also refers to evergreen plants such as azaleas, rhododendron and mountain laurel as "broadleaf," to distinguish them from needle-bearing evergreens.
Also Known As: broad-leaved, broad-leafed
