A plant with purple-pinkish flowers, which can vary in shape depending on habitat and the amount of competition. In locations of denser foliage it grows taller, more upright and the flowers are paler. The plant was once boiled and eaten as a pot herb. It was also used to help cure tuberculosis and skin problems. It is very common on waste land and cultivated land. Pictured at Bedford, Bedfordshire, 27th January 2011.
