Yellow Sorrel

An uncommon, but distinctive, perennial weed. It is mainly confined to growing in cracks in paths, and in borders, although it could spread onto the edge of some neglected lawn areas, or those which have been recently reseeded. The three leaves are deeply notched in the middle, often a purplish colour, but also green coloured, with sparse hairs. It flowers from June to September, with yellow flowers, having 5 petals, with the flower head being about 10mm in diameter.
