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. |
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.

It can spread steadily, so use it where coverage is welcome and edges can be managed.
Yes, especially in shaded, organic soil that does not stay bone dry.
It has good deer resistance, making it useful where browsing is a regular problem.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
