Hello!
Sweet woodruff, if encouraged slightly in a semi-shady location, will spread
quite freely, and the flowers are VERY fragrant.

Also, if you forgot to put your May wine down in October, or just need a
pretty springtime treat, try steeping sprigs of woodruff and slices of
strawberry in a bowl of your favorite white wine for a while and serving it
chilled. Watch the flavor;  if you leave the woodruff in too long it can
become too strong. Test it periodically until it's right. (I'm sorry, I
don't remember how long we left it in last time. A couple of hours, I think,
but your mileage may vary. Experimentation can be fun!)Leave the
strawberries in, of course.

Have fun!
Caryn
