Odontites vulgaris
Also called Red Odontites, Broomrape, Early Eyebright, Late Flowering Eyebright
Red Bartsia is a hemiparasitic annual wildflower of temperate Europe and Asia that grows in meadows and grassy places, drawing some nutrients from neighbouring plant roots. It is grown as a wildflower rather than a garden plant, and the key to success is a sunny, open, low-fertility site.
Odontites vulgaris is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Orobanchaceae.
Its native range is Europe to Siberia and China.
