I see it has another Common Name - "Bedstraw".

Not quite. It is one of the bedstraw family, but it is not normally

Right! Galium verum is Lady's bedstraw and numerous other Galiums are this that or the
other bedstraw, but I see only the odoratum is Sweet Woodruff. I got some Lady's bedstraw
from the local organic grocers - amongst the usual herbs a little pot organically grown.
It will be interesting to compare the two though the Lady's bedstraw will, under a palm,
get rather more sun.

Do you know if it "comes back" vigourously after a medium haircut?

If it is established, and given suitable weather (i.e. wet and warm),
yes. It will not regrow in dry weather, and will wait for rain.

Well, I suppose it must be harvestable in order to strew around or stuff mattresses.
They say a bag of hops under the pillow aids sleep. Oh dear, that family again.
