Native to Europe, galium murale is a low-growing perennial with delicate foliage, well-suited for ground cover. Pruning involves trimming back overgrown stems and removing dead or weak growth to promote a healthy, dense mat. The optimal pruning periods are late spring, after flowering, or early fall to prepare for winter. Pruning galium murale encourages new growth, maintains an attractive shape, and controls spread. Beneficial in preventing disease by enhancing air circulation, specific attention is needed due to its sprawling habit.
