Greater Stitchwort -stellaria holostea–is a beautiful spring wildflower that looks best grown in the shade of a woodland setting or under a hedgerow. In gardens it makes excellent ground cover, where it can be used under fences, hedges, or within grass covered banks. Plants have extremely attractive foliage and masses of snow white flowers that appear from April to June attracting bees. Greater Stitchwort look stunning when grown alongside Red Campion and English Bluebells both of which have similar flowering times.
