Galium odoratum
Choose Sweet Woodruff for shaded beds where you want fast groundcover under shrubs or trees. The tradeoff is control: it spreads willingly, so use it where edging or naturalizing makes sense.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives shaded areas a finished, woodland look, but it is more about coverage than bold color. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly when the site suits it, which is useful but also means you should plan its boundaries. |
| Maintenance | B | It is not fussy once settled, but spreading edges may need occasional trimming. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It can work in a small bed only if you are willing to manage its spread. |
| Screening Value | F | It is a groundcover, so it will not provide privacy or vertical screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Sweet Woodruff for shaded beds with room to knit together, not for narrow strips where every edge needs to stay sharp.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
