The hedgerows had burst into tender green, and the banks were spangled with stitchwort and celandine stars. |
Lesser stitchwort, Stellaia graminea, has tiny white flowers with deeply divided petals while red campion, Silene dioica, is much more pink than red. |
Lesser stitchwort is often all but obscured in the grassy slopes and drier meadows it tends to prefer. |
Plants are greater stitchwort, bluebell, devils bit scabious, Himalayan balsam, ragged robin, marsh marigold, quaking grass and lady's smock. |
The stitchwort is a tall, slender plant, and the flowers are large and very pretty. |
Vernal stitchwort can be use in front borders and rock gardens. |
