Galium odoratum

A delicate woodland gem, Galium odoratum (Sweet Woodruff) spreads into a fragrant, evergreen groundcover perfect for shady spots. In spring, tiny white star-shaped blooms hover over lush whorls of lance-shaped leaves that release a sweet vanilla-hay aroma when crushed or dried. Reaching just 15–30 cm (6–12 in) tall and spreading 30–60 cm (12–24 in), it forms a dense carpet that suppresses weeds and thrives under trees or in shaded borders. Easy-care and deer-resistant, it's ideal for woodland gardens, edging, or potpourri use after drying.
