	Red deadnettle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is often found alongside Henbit Deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), which is easily mistaken for it since they both have similar looking leaves and similar bright purple flowers; they can be distinguished by the stalked leaves of Red Deadnettle on the flower stem, compared to the unstalked leaves of Henbit Deadnettle.
		Though superficially similar to a nettle in appearance, it is not related and does not sting, hence the name "deadnettle".
		Outside of its native range, it is a common weed of cultivated areas; it is listed as an invasive species in some parts of North America.
