Lady’s Bedstraw (Galium verum)

Lady’s Bedstraw is a native British wild flower valued for its masses of small yellow flowers and fine, grassy foliage. Traditionally found in meadows, grasslands, and coastal habitats, it is well suited to naturalistic planting and wildlife-friendly gardens.

This perennial wild flower forms low, spreading growth and produces delicate sprays of flowers through summer. The blooms are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable species for biodiversity-focused planting schemes.

Lady’s Bedstraw thrives in free-draining soils and performs particularly well in poor or dry ground, where more vigorous species are less dominant. Once established, it is long-lived and low maintenance.

This 3000-seed pack is ideal for establishing wildflower meadows, naturalised planting schemes, or larger wildlife areas.
