Urtica dioica - perennial stinging nettle


This stinging nettle was one I found in Longford Park, late winter. Common nettle has pendulous catkins; borne on separate-sex plants from June through to October. Its fruits resemble female flowers. Urtica is widespread and common, doing best on nitrogen-enriched and disturbed soils.
