11/04/16 Danish Scurvy Grass blooming alongside the A50 near Sudbury, Derbyshire. DRAFT COPY: Danish scurvy grass was traditionally considered a coastal plant, thriving in salty places, salt marshes and coastal areas. But now it has begun to colonise the verges of roads and motorways thanks to extensive gritting and salting over winter. It is native to the UK and is easily identifiable with small, delicate flowers each giving four white or mauve petals. The plant has now been spotted growing in Derbyshire, possibly as far inland as you can get in the UK. According to research (2013) by national wild flower charity Plantlife there are several other plants that have spread from the sea shore but Danish scurvy grass has spread the fastest.
