 Galium odoratum, commonly known as Sweet Woodruff, makes a great groundcover for the garden and landscape. A fragrant spring bloomer, Sweet Woodruff is hardy in zones 4 - 7. Helpful hints to keep Galium happy: plant in rich, moist soil and supply partial shade from intense afternoon summer sun (under the canopy of trees). Provide a spring application of fertilizer according to label directions. Dried Sweet Woodruff is often used to provide a hay scent to pot pourris. It makes sense when you consider that another common name for Sweet Woodruff is ’Bedstraw’..... Donna W. Moramarco aka Donna In the Garden |
