In the wonderful movie Keeping The Faith, Anne Bancroft says:
"Our Lady's Bedstraw, the most poetic herb."
I am wild about this plant. It grows all over Windy Poplars Farm and I keep it all. I'm sure some see it as a weed, but I think it is wonderful. I've read that it was (is?) put in the mattresses of women in labor. I just love that.
This is growing between two terrace steps!
And this among the daylilies.
It grows in England too. An old farmhand I used to work with called it "My Lady's Bedstraw" which makes it even more poetic to my ear.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the quote again, and it was "our" so I changed it in the post!
DeleteIt's beautiful. I would keep it as you have and probably try and start more plants from cuttings.
ReplyDeleteYou would never need to take cuttings. Once it comes, it will spread itself!!!
DeleteLove this,Nan!
