Care Tips

Requires full sun but will tolerate morning shade and moist, well drained soil. Its deep-green foliage develops best in the half-shade, where the sunlight penetrates with difficulty. More shade is required in warm climates; Galium can spread very rapidly and must be planted in an area where it is able to take over or plant in dry soil and reduce watering; will spread and form a mat that chokes out weeds.
