Description
Galium verum, a short to medium and often sprawling grassland perennial. In common with other bedstraws Ladys bedstraw has a square stem with whorls of undivided leaves and clusters of small four petalled flowers. Ladys bedstraw is Britains only yellow flowered bedstraw (although it can be confused with Crosswort), its golden yellow flowers being present from June until September. The plant, when dried, retains the scent of new mown hay hence its common name which dates back to a time when palliasses were stuffed with straw.
