Field fumitory is a delicate herbaceous annual, often thriving in the loose soils of Mediterranean farmlands. Its grey-green, dissected leaves are feathery, and its small, trumpet-shaped pink to purplish flowers cluster in inflorescences, a telltale sign of its presence amid crops. Field fumitory has deep roots, adapting well to both arable and disturbed habitats, capitalizing on its environment for the growth and dispersal of its seeds.
