Sweet Woodruff

From LoveToKnow Garden

Sweet Woodruff (Asperula) - A. odorata, which belongs to the same family as the Coffee Plant, is abundant in many parts of Britain, and worthy of the garden or shrubbery, especially in districts where it does not occur wild. Its stems and leaves give off a fragrant hay-like odour when dried; and in May the small white flowers, dotted over the tufts of whorled leaves, are pretty. A. azurea setosa (A. orientalis) is a pretty hardy blue annual, flowering in April and May. Sow seed in the previous autumn. A. cynanchica is a rosy-red perennial, and a good bank or rough rock-plant. A. hexaphylla is a tall slender white-flowered species.
