Lamium hybridum
Also called Cut Leaved Purple Dead Nettle, Cut Leaved Red Dead Nettle, Northern Dead Nettle, Cutleaf Deadnettle
Cut-leaved dead-nettle is a low-growing annual herb with deeply lobed leaves and small purplish-red flowers, common in fields, gardens and waste ground. It is an easy, weedy plant that self-seeds freely, and it is valued by bees as a nectar and pollen source.
Lamium hybridum, the cut-leaved dead-nettle, is a species of Lamium native to western and northern Europe and northwestern Africa. The specific name means 'hybrid'; however, Dominique Villars, in describing the species, did not give his reasons for selecting this name. The English name refers to the deeply cut leaves, unlike the shallower lobes of other related species of Lamium.
Cut-leaf dead-nettle is native to western and northern Europe, and northwest Africa in the Atlas Mountains. Its status in Great Britain and Ireland is disputed; some sources give it as native, while others cite it as an archaeophyte. It is found growing in open areas, gardens, fields and meadows, and widely in uncultivated areas in urban habitats.
