Description: | This small creeping plant is found on dry, sandy soils throughout the country. It can also be found on rocky outcrops in more upland areas. It produces lots of small pink flowers throughout the summer. Maiden Pink is nationally scarce in this country, and the population is in a long term decline. This is thought to be due to improved agricultural techniques which reduce the amount of suitable habitat for the species. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
