I.D. needed plz gang

bought this last summer at a fayre n forgot what the lady said it was,its about 10inch high now, has spread 20inch and i get the feeling it its going to keep spreading

 

Looks like Woodruff.

 

Thank you zig x

 

I think thats what the Germans make "Maitranke" from, some sort of drink if I remember correctly?

 

il google it tomo

 

Proper Botanical name is Galium odoratum, can be a bit of a thug where suited, but the scent from the crushed plant is very nice, hence its other name. Lady's Breath.

 

I'll second that, it spreads everywhere. Not sure I would have planted it if I'd known. Fairly easy to remove and control. Good if you've a vast damp forest floor to fill up. And I'm sure we all have one of those somewhere, don't we?

 

Great i shall split it and put some in the shade area at bottom,less weeds to worry about next yr x

 

I've got about six square metres of the stuff to clear! Any tips, or is it straightforward?

 

It's easy enough to dig out the roots in clumps, it's not deep-rooted. Trouble is,you always miss a bit.......

 

Thanks Madahhlia. Could be a long term project..........
