The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, rounded, 2-3 cm diameter, with a lobed margin. The [[flower]]s are pink to purple, 1.5-2 cm long. <br /> <br /> It flowers very early in the spring even in northern areas, and for most of the winter and the early spring in warmer areas such as the [[Mediterranean region]]. It propagates freely by [[seed]] and is regarded as a minor [[weed]]. Sometimes entire fields will be reddish-purple with its flowers before spring ploughing. Where common, is an important [[nectar]] and [[pollen]] plant for [[bee]]s, especially [[honeybee]]s, where it helps start the spring buildup.<br /> <br /> It is widely [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in eastern [[North America]] and elsewhere, where it is often considered to be an invasive weed. However, its edibility and readiness to grow in many climes often mean it is permitted to grow when other 'weeds' are not.<br /> <br /> {{Commons|Lamium amplexicaule}}<br /> <br /> {{Lamiales-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Lamiaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Africa]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Asia]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Europe]]</div>
