Giant chickweed
Stellaria aquatica
Giant chickweed is a low-growing perennial that favors moist, shaded conditions along stream banks, ditches, and woodland edges. It produces delicate white star-shaped flowers and spreads readily in cool, humid environments with rich soil. While easy to grow, it can become weedy in garden beds so it is best suited to naturalized or wildlife planting schemes.
