Greater stitchwort has a small, white star like flower, growing in hedgerows, roadside verges or the woodland edge. It does prefer partial shade and cool roots, slightly damp if possible. The delicate flowers are very pretty alongside red campion, sweet cicely and bluebells. The flowering time lasts from March through to June or even July. In late spring, when the seed capsules ripen, they can be heard ‘popping’ as they are dispersed.
