Description
Lady's Bedstraw Plug Plants Galium verum
Common names include yellow bedstraw.
The tiny golden flowers of this native perennial wildflower are honey-scented at the height of summer. The dense clusters of yellow bunched around tall thin stems can be seen in grasslands, hedgerows and verges and will make a striking addition to your garden or meadow.
The scented dried stalks and flowers of lady's bedstraw plants were used to stuff mattresses in Victorian times.
One of the RHS Plants for Pollinators, lady's bedstraw is an important nectar source for bees and other pollinating insects.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
