Question
Grows like a weed! Started out as a mat with tiny leaves, turns into stalks 10" high or more. Feels sticky to the touch, like it grips the hand —not like it's covered with sap.
Answer
Dear Madeleine89, good morning. You have photographed Galium aparine (scratch bedstraw). The "sticky" aspect you refer to is created by many, very small prickles that grip onto your hands or clothes. Best wishes.
