Rough Bedstraw may be
easily confused with:
- Cleavers
Bedstraw has leaves mostly in whorls of six, cleavers in whorls of eight.
- Marsh Bedstraw
Marsh bedstraw has more diffuse flower clusters, and grows only in wet places.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
