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

  2. Question

    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).
