Sticky Weed..name please

Anyone know the name of the Sticky weed that's found in gardens...grows in long stretches and is easy to remove apart from it's sticky...also quite delicate looking...help appreciated. Thanks

 

Hi Paradise I assume you mean the one we call sticky buds. It's delicate but try pulling out and the root snaps and what do you have in a few weeks? Yup Sticky buds. Systemic weedkiller fettles it fairly easily.

 

Don't think it has sticky buds...Looks like Bedstraw?

 

Googled sticky weed and cam up with this. Goose Grass, Sticky Weed (Gallium aparine. Graet fun to play with :D

 

Yes Same stuff if you are American. See those little 'bobbles'? they are the sticky buds. Which is why we call it 'sticky buds'.

 

we call them Pee the Bed :D

 

I've heard that one Kathy.

 

Is that the same as 'Robin-run-the-hedge'

 

I know it has lots of names Sam. In fact Kathy's 'pee the bed' I did hear a stronger version of. :D

 

Hi, Paradise, and welcome to GC.

It's the same wherever you are ... I'm overrun with it here ... think it's the world's favourite weed.

I think it's Gallium aparine ... Goose Grass or Sticky Weed ...
