Sweet Woodruff is a popular perennial herb, famously prized for the unique, sweet fragrance that its leaves develop after being dried. The primary parts used for their aromatic and culinary value are the whorled leaves, which, when wilted or dried, release a powerful scent of new-mown hay and vanilla. This distinct aroma makes it a traditional ingredient for flavouring white wine (famously "May Wine"), as well as infusing syrups and jellies. The attractive, tiny, star-shaped white flowers are also edible. When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, spreading, mat-forming perennial, but it has very specific, non-negotiable requirements. It is extremely fussy about its light conditions and absolutely must have a location in partial or full shade, as it cannot tolerate direct sun. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is rich in organic matter and is kept consistently moist but remains well-drained. As an added benefit, its attractive flowers are known to be popular with early pollinators.
