Species Details

Annual Mercury is a very rare annual of gardens, cultivated ground and waste places. Although considered casual here, some authorities treat it as an ancient introduction from continental Europe (Stace XXet al. 2003). The sole recent records are from Arbour Hill (SK4338) and Long Eaton (SK4933).
