Description

Lesser Stitchwort (Stellaria graminea) is a graceful native perennial wildflower that produces masses of delicate white, star-shaped flowers from May to August. Its slender stems and airy growth add texture and movement to wildflower meadows, grasslands, and natural planting schemes.

This species thrives in well-drained soils and grows best in full sun or partial shade. It naturally occurs in hay meadows, roadside verges, open grasslands, and woodland edges across the UK. As a result, it is an excellent choice for meadow creation, habitat restoration, and conservation projects.

The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, hoverflies, butterflies, and other pollinating insects throughout the summer. Additionally, its long flowering period provides a reliable food source for wildlife. Its fine foliage also blends well with other native wildflowers, helping to create diverse, species-rich habitats.
