Galium odoratum, commonly known as 'Sweet Woodruff', is a charming perennial ground cover prized for its delicate, star-shaped white flowers and fragrant, fresh-cut hay-like scent. This low-growing plant thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, under trees, or as a lush carpet beneath shrubs. 'Sweet Woodruff' is also valued for its historical use in herbal medicine and as a flavoring agent in beverages and desserts, adding both aesthetic and practical appeal to garden landscapes.
