Sweet Woodruff imparts the aroma of new-mown hay to May wine . A hardy, spring-blooming perennial that has white flowers and whorls of 6 to 8 slender, rough-edged leaves. Make very flavorful tea using fresh sprigs. Delicious in fruit drinks or Apple juice. Use dried leaves in sachets to scent linens & as insect repellent. When Sweet Woodruff is flourishing, you can pick leaves and stems to make May wine.
