June 3, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire I think this was planted along with a bunch of other New England species. I decided that I have to accept some plants in addition to what happens to be in the wild. Otherwise, I may not have another opportunity to learn this species of Chickweed. Fortunately, this is the only Chickweed in New England that is tomentose (a covering of matted or tangled, soft, wooly hairs) so that the actual stems and leaves are almost completed covered in hair.
