OTHER: This charmer has very fragrant vanilla scented leaves! Butterflies just love it, & the Woodruff’s dried leaves are frequently used in potpourri. It will add great color in a shade garden or around trees. Although this Blue Woodruff tolerates more sun than the white Sweet Woodruff, a partially shaded area is best. They can also handle moist, shady, woodland areas with no problem, and also grow well in containers. You mainly want to avoid placing them in full sun during the hottest months of the summer. In some areas, these plants will reseed themselves nicely, although they are not considered to be anywhere near invasive. The leaves have a beautiful unique shape, and Woodruff is an herb used in traditional medicine and as an insect repellant.
We also have White Sweet Woodruff seeds available!
