The dark pink/red forms seem to have thrived around Cambridge for several years, far better than when planted in my garden.

I've signed this petition as Nottingham was my first university and at Sutton Bonington brave attempts were made to teach me #botany via Hubbard's Grasses and Clapham Tutin & Warburg (both of which I still have) but I was distracted by microbiology. 😉

Nice photos! If you zoom in you can see what hairs there are are lying down or as @bsbibotany.bsky.social says ‘with sparse, appressed hairs’ making it the common subspecies Solanum nigrum nigrum.

Think you are right Peter. The stems look quite dark and not noticeably hairy (any hairs probably lying flat).
