woodruff
Woodruff grows in the shadow of the forest and
covers the bottom. It propagates by forming many
offshoots. Flowring happens on the end of the spring
with small , lovely smelling flowers. The seeds of
woodruff only germinate rarely and there are only
few of them. If you want to have Woodruff in youre
garden it is the easiest way to remove a clump from
the woods.
