Galium acutum & Galium himalense Seeds – Himalayan Bedstraw
General Description
Galium acutum and Galium himalense, commonly known as Himalayan Bedstraw, are delicate, perennial herbs from the Rubiaceae family. These rare mountain plants thrive in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, growing along forest edges, rocky slopes, and alpine meadows. Known for their slender stems, small white flowers, and fine, whorled leaves, they are valued for their ecological role, medicinal properties, and ornamental beauty in wild gardens.
Plant Characteristics
These species grow as low-spreading or upright perennials, reaching heights of 30–60 cm. They have thin, wiry stems covered with narrow, whorled leaves that create a fine, feathery appearance. In summer, they produce tiny, star-shaped white or pale yellow flowers arranged in loose clusters. The plant spreads gently through its creeping roots, making it an excellent ground cover for cool, mountainous climates.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil, mimicking mountain conditions.
• Light: Thrives in partial shade to full sun in cooler climates.
• Watering: Requires moderate moisture; avoid waterlogging.
• Temperature: Best suited for temperate and high-altitude climates with cool summers.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil; cold stratification for 4–6 weeks may improve germination. Keep at 15–20°C for best results.
Uses and Benefits
• Ornamental Value: Ideal for rock gardens, wildflower meadows, and naturalized landscapes.
• Medicinal Uses: Traditionally used in herbal medicine for digestive and skin health.
• Ecological Benefits: Provides nectar for pollinators and stabilizes soil in mountainous regions.
