Northern Bedstraw Live Plant | Galium boreale | Native Pollinator Perennial Starter Plant

Add graceful texture and native charm to your landscape with Northern Bedstraw, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its delicate clusters of white flowers, whorled green foliage, and exceptional value for pollinators. Galium boreale, commonly known as Northern Bedstraw, is a hardy North American native perennial that naturally grows in prairies, open woodlands, and meadows. Its airy blooms and attractive foliage make it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, native landscapes, wildflower meadows, prairie restorations, cottage gardens, and naturalized plantings. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from late spring through midsummer.

Northern Bedstraw thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil, adapting to sandy, loamy, or rocky conditions once established. Its fragrant clusters of tiny white flowers attract native bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects throughout the blooming season. This low-maintenance perennial spreads gradually by rhizomes to form attractive colonies, making it an excellent choice for habitat restoration and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Northern Bedstraw starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
