Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.223.050 USDA Zone: 3 - 9  Galium odoratum Common name :  Sweet Woodruff This has quickly become one of the most popular groundcovers for shady areas. Plants form a spreading clump of small green leaves, whorled like spokes of a bicycle around the stem. Clusters of tiny white flowers make a pretty display in spring. In a moist site this spreads steadily to form a thick carpet. Although nearly evergreen in mild winter regions, the old foliage should be trimmed off in late winter. Great with spring bulbs of all kinds, Sweet Woodruff will help to disguise that ugly bulb foliage when it begins to die back in late spring. Easily divided at almost any time.

The pretty little woodruff is in flower; what scent is so delicate as that of its leaves? They are almost sweeter when dried… it is a pleasant surprise to come upon these fragrant little stars between the leaves of a book.; Gertrude Jekyll, Wood and Garden
