Hi Me!, Thanks for writing. Probably you’re thinking of Cleavers (Galium aparine) that is closely allied to Our Lady’s Bedstraw. Richo

Emily Zadoretzky (verified owner) –
How long does it take for this to bloom? I have plants that have overwintered from last year and still haven’t produced any flowers (zone 7).
