There are two species of medium height, clambering bedstraws that can be found growing in damp soils (three if you live in the New Forest), marsh and fen bedstraw. Fen bedstraw is the shorter of the two and can be identified by the presents of a bristle like tip to the leaves and backward pointing hairs along the edge of the leaves. The flowers, which are present from June to August, are white and formed into loose clusters at the end of the stem.
We sell Fen Bedstraw (Galium uliginosum) seeds per gram; customers should be aware that when ordering more than one gram of Fen Bedstraw seeds the entire amount will be bagged together to reduce unnecessary packaging.
