XL Mylar Packet – Northern Bedstraw SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet This versatile native wildflower has many historical uses. It belongs to the same genus as the European Madder plant, which is used to make dyes; Native Americans valued this plant for its ability to produce a naturally scarce red dye. Bedstraw is also related to the tropical coffee plant, and the seeds can be used to brew a very acceptable substitute for that beverage. This plant produces a substance called asperuloside, which causes a sweet, hay-like scent when the plant has dried. Because of this, it was used as a stuffing or “bedstraw” for mattresses and pillows in medieval times. Direct sow in late fall, planting the seeds just below the surface and lightly compacting the soil. For spring planting or starting indoors, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing; keep the soil consistently moist and at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination, which usually occurs within 10-15 days. Thin or transplant the seedlings. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use.
