Field Notes
Description:
It has leaves which range from kidney-shaped to heart-shaped, and although some forms have plain green leaves, there are generally some silvery/whitish markings. The flowers vary in colour from a pale (often muddy) pink, through a dark rose to carmine, in all cases with a slightly darker nose.
Habitat:
C. purpurascens grows in deciduous or partly evergreen woods, generally overlying limestone. It also grows in shaded and semi-shaded places amongst rocks and tree-roots and occasionally on stabilised screes, at altitudes between 250 -1300m and flowers between June and September. It is particularly common in Beech (Fagus) woods.
