Sweet woodruff

A froth of tiny white flowers makes a very clean contrast against the whorls of emerald green leaves beneath. This little perennial forms a low carpet and although it spreads well, division is best done in autumn or early spring. It is also known as sweet woodruff, a reference to the sweet vanilla smell of the plant when cut and dried: it was once used as an air freshener and hung in bunches with clothes.

Looks good with:

Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
Dryopteris wallichiana
