Scrambling fumitory is a clambering annual weed which can grow at any time of the year, though most germination is in spring and autumn. It tends not to be as competitive as some larger weed species, though it can smother plants by growing up over them. This plant is a many-branched, annual herbaceous plant, native to Europe. Approximately a dozen flowers appear in each inflorescence. The flowers are pink with a dark red tip.The stems tend to be quite weak, unable to support the weight of the plant, thus it creeps along the ground or sprawls over surrounding plants and objects.
