Re: Herb perennials?
I have a patch of Sweet Woodruff that is about 4' X 6'. It was started
from a small plant about 15 years ago. It is planted in heavy clay loam
that is neutral to alkaline in ph. It gets dry sometimes and recieves
midday to afternoon sun. Grows like a weed. (a well behaved one anyway)
But some grass is always coming up in it which I pull out occaisionaly.
