Sweet Woodruff

Low growing, shade-loving perennial groundcover with edible leaves and flowers.

Leaves are primarily used as a flavouring agent due to its vanilla-like scent (especially when dried). It is commonly used to infuse drinks like May wine, teas, jellies, and desserts and can also be use in cheesemaking. Fresh flowers are sweet and can be used as a garnish.

Sweet Woodruff makes an excellent cut flower too, and foliage can be dried to use in sweet smelling potpourri.
