Common Stork’s-bill is an occasional annual of wasteland, cultivated ground and open grassland on well-drained soils. This native species occurs scattered throughout Derbyshire from Priddock Wood (SK2086) in the north, through Dove Dale (SK1452) and Craig’s Hill (SK4153), to Drakelow Power Station (SK2219) and Lock Lane Tip (SK4831) in the south.
