Sweet Woodruff is a low-spreading herbaceous perennial with aromatic dark green lance-shaped foliage on square stems. Loose cymes of fragrant white flowers bloom in masses come late spring. Flowers best in and moist to wet well-drained soils. As the fragrance intensifies as it dries, Sweet Woodruff is often used in potpourris.
