Red deadnettle


Red deadnettle has pink flowers but it's the fresh leaves at the top of the stem that are red, - at least they are when growing in a sunny position.  Inside a shady wood they tend to be green and the plant grows taller.   


White deadnettle grows a lot at Filnore in amongst the longer grass but red deadnettle is more frequent in cultivated land or even clinging to a wall.
