General Herb Information
Bedstraw (Cleavers) - (Yellow Bedstraw (Galium verum), also called Our Lady's Bedstraw or Cheese Rennet; White Bedstraw (G. Molluyo), also called False Baby's Breath or Wild Madder. Both very decorative garden plants.
Propagation: by fresh seed in autumn; by root division in spring into small clumps because plant spreads readily by underground running roots; by layering.
Nature of Plant: Yellow variety especially beautiful for borders or rock gardens, rises to 3 feet topped by butter-yellow panicles of flowers; white variety 2 3/2 feet, blooms 2 weeks earlier than yellow, has wider, softer leaves and more brittle stems than yellow; both useful for softening effects in flower arrangements; dried stems resemble straw; formerly used for mattresses.
Spacing of Mature Plants: 2 feet.
Cultural Requirements: Dry, sandy soil in sunny spot; both varieties have weak stems and start to shoot up the second year and must be staked in a clump as soon as they are a foot high; use several stakes and a cord or raffia hoop to avoid spoiling the graceful effect of the clump; a higher hoop will be required when the growth reaches 3 feet.
