Sweet Woodruff
I'm considering buying some seeds after seeing it on Gardener's World recently. I hear its good for dry shade, a condition that exists under our ash tree. Most plants really struggled under there this year especially in that hot spell.
Does anyone have experience with this plant?

I can vouch for that particular strain of Sweet Woodruff Fishy - does very well in my dry shade

While on the subject of Sweet Woodruff - a German friend has lots of uses for it - particularly Maibowle - a sort of sweet punch flavoured with the woodruff and drunk in spring.

Well that's good enough for me Dove, though it won't be the first of nut's own special brand to adorn my garden
I may pass on the woodruff punch though
A fascinating article nonetheless...
My sister lived in Germany for a while, and once gave me sweet woodruff jelly. Quite pleasant...
