Adds fragrance to the shade

Name: Sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum)
USDA HARDINESS ZONES: 5 to 8
Size: 15 inches to, spreading indefinitely
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soil

While it may look delicate, sweet woodruff is a vigorous spreader. It makes a dense ground cover with fragrant, star-shaped white flowers in early summer. The deciduous, emeraid green leaves are also star shaped and stay neat well into autumn.
