Description

Also known as Addersmeat, The specific epithet holostea comes from the Greek holosteon, literally meaning ‘entire bone’; a reference to the brittleness of the weak stems of this plant. The common name Stitchwort is a reference to a herbal remedy in which this plant is used allegedly to cure side stitch.

Flowering with white petals, this plant attracts all kinds of wildlife and is perfect for pollinators. Stellaria holostea produces larger flowers than the lesser stitchwort.
