description for "Annuals: Asperula orientalis"
An annual relative of Sweet Woodruff this free blooming plant is a treasure. Lavender flowers, like clusters of tiny trumpets, bloom all summer long with little care in sun or shade. The narrow light green leaves are whorled about the stems and the plant mounds gracefully to 1' tall. Sow outdoors in early spring in moist soils. Self sows to ensure its place in your garden. Described in 1935 by Hottes in "The Book of Annuals".
