Sweet Woodruff

Galium odoratum

Welsh: Briwydden Ber

This little native with its wiry creeping rhizomes and whorls of bright green leaves makes excellent groundcover in shade. In early summer it is dotted with starry white flowers. From medieval times the dried leaves with their scent of new-mown hay were used to scent clothes. It thrives in any rich shaded soils that are not too acid.
