Northern bedstraw
Galium boreale
Northern bedstraw is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that naturalises beautifully in wildflower meadows, woodland edges, and rock gardens. It tolerates a wide range of soils and requires minimal watering once established, making it a great choice for low-input gardens. Its clusters of small white flowers attract a variety of pollinators and provide season-long interest from early summer through autumn.
