Description



Chickweed - Stellaria media



Chickweed is an annual herb which grows to about 30-35 cm high; chickweed typically develops a sprawling mass of intertwined stems up to 70 cm in length.

Each stem node grow pairs of oval leaves that vary in size up to 15mm long.

When blooming (throughout its growth period) the plant displays white flowers, 7 mm across, with usually five, two-parted petals that are shorter than the sepals, are followed by oval seed pods.

A line of hairs runs up one side of the stem changing to the other side when it reaches the leaf node.

At Middle Path, Chickweed is a welcome winter friend which we see starting to sprout around April / May.
