Bluntleaf bedstraw
Galium obtusum
Bluntleaf bedstraw is a delicate, low-growing native perennial that flourishes in moist, partially shaded woodland or wetland garden settings. It requires consistently moist soil and will struggle in dry or compacted conditions, making it ideal for rain gardens or stream-edge plantings. This low-maintenance plant naturalizes well and provides fine-textured ground cover in native shade gardens.
