Regina,
Would you like to bring your shovel and a bucket and dig up lots of Sweet
Woodruff to take home and try it again? This is another offer I make to
visitors. :) Mine has crept the full length of my garden (125 ft.) on the
shady side. The advantage it has as a ground cover is that you don't have
to be careful of it - I even mow over it every so often. It is truly
wonderful during May & June while it is blooming. The fragrance is divine!
This winter it has remained green, but it will still need to be cut to the
ground in spring to make way for new growth. It seems to thrive in rocky,
hard packed, low pH clay. I shouldn't complain!
