I put in a plant of Galium odoratum this year hoping to start a colony

"woodland" area. It's doing really well at the moment so I had better
find out the best
way to spread it about a bit. Do you find yours self seeds easily?
Pollinators Flies,
bees, self, the book says


I haven't seen it self-seed, but it's been creeping rapidly - it covers
about 10 square feet now which is about double what it was a year ago.
It's doing an OK job of competing with the Vinca major for control of
the shady border.

WOW that's going some! Against V. major!

Maybe the Vinca will end up dominating in the deeper shade areas though.

The two patches of woodruff I know about are a) under a weeping crab
apple on the N side of our house b) on our local nature park, steep bank
planted densely with elderberry and hawthorn.

So I think woodruff can cope with deep shade!
