Species Details

Berry Catchfly is very rare casual perennial. There are no recent records and only one previous one from western Derbyshire (SK07) in Clapham (1969). Nationally it is usually either a bird-seed alien or garden escape of verges and waste ground. It is a native of south-western Europe.
