| (5-8 part shade) 15x45cm ‘Woodruff’ is a carpeting perennial for part shade, under trees or shrubs. It bears whorls of star-shaped white flowers above neat green leaves all summer. All parts of the plant are aromatic. Native and evergreen with us. Woodruff is a strongly scented plant, the sweet scent being derived from coumarin.This scent increases on wilting and then persists on drying so woodruff can eb used in pot-pourri and as a moth deterrent. |
