Galium odoratum Sweet Woodruff

A lush, low-growing carpet of whorled green leaves, Sweet Woodruff is more than just a groundcover—it’s a fragrant, shade-loving powerhouse. In spring, it bursts into clouds of delicate white star-like flowers, filling the air with a sweet, hay-like scent, especially when dried. Perfect for softening pathways, filling woodland gardens, or naturalizing under trees, this fast-spreading beauty thrives where others struggle, bringing a touch of wild, effortless charm to shaded landscapes.
