37.Sweet Woodruff
Sweet Woodruff is one of the most all-around friendly shade-loving perennials. Indeed, this is a plant that is content to take care of itself and prosper. It is neither aggressive nor invasive, and it spreads at a steady, moderate rate, rewarding the patient grower with a lovely, low carpet of sweet-smelling flowers and dark green, almost way foliage.
It is a delicate perennial above USDA zone 5, so northern gardeners should plant it in a sheltered spot. All you need is Sweet Woodruff, Astilbe, and Hostas to create a lovely shade garden.
