Hayloft Galium Odoratum – Sweet Woodruff – 9cm pot

Galium odoratum, commonly known as sweet woodruff, is a fragrant, herbaceous perennial plant that is native to europe and parts of asia. Characterized by its whorled, lance-shaped leaves and delicate, small white flowers, it thrives in shaded, moist woodlands and along forest edges. Sweet woodruff is particularly renowned for its sweet, hay-like aroma, which intensifies when the leaves are dried. This scent has historically been used in potpourri, sachets, and to flavor certain beverages, particularly in traditional german recipes for may wine. The plant grows low to the ground, often spreading into dense mats, and its ability to naturalize in shady gardens makes it an attractive ground cover. Supplied in 9cm pots
