How does the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) reproduce and what do its flowers look like?

Urtica dioica is a dioecious plant, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate plants. The small, inconspicuous greenish flowers are arranged in dangling, branched clusters called catkins or racemes along the stem. Pollination occurs via wind. A single plant can produce thousands of tiny seeds, enabling rapid spread across disturbed soils and nutrient-rich habitats.

Even daylight emphasizes the botanical precision without dramatic staging. The image feels clear, natural, and documentary in character.
