I bought a small sweet woodruff plant and divided it into three pots.
One grew so well in a east window then I planted it outdoors in
partial shade (2-3 hours of dappled sun) where it slowly died off. I
put a nylon sunscreen over it during the intense summer sun for added
protection. The other two are struggling along now, the top part is
dead, but small plants are starting to grow. I put a plastic tent of
the plant to increase humidity. Anyone have any luck with this
plant? It seems to be very temperamental and seems to grow better
indoors than outdoors. I have not fertilized it and they were potted
using MiracleGrow potting mix. Outdoors, I mixed in compost. I
bought it for the intention of a semi-shady area groundcover. In zone
7, e.TN. TIA
I've never heard of it being a hard one so long as it doesn't get too much
sun. Mine grows in dry shade under the eaves between two enormous shrubs,
& it carries on "good enough" in a location so uninhabitable even weeds
don't grow there (but white English bluebells do). It would rather have
moister shade & if I wanted it to be more than "good enough" I'd have to
get water to it, but I can't see much into that area anyhow so I let the
sweet woodruff struggle on without my assistance.
