Grow woodruff in your own garden
Woodruff grows in many forests as ground cover and has been collected for centuries as a medicinal plant and flavoring. The plant can be grown in a suitable location but also in your own garden.
The perfect location for the woodruff
The woodruff grows in the wild only in certain places in forests with preferably deciduous trees. Therefore, it can only be in the garden harvestable stocks, if location and care meet his needs. For the Woodruff, choose a place sheltered from direct sunlight under a tree or among shrubs. The soil should be as loose as possible and store moisture well, but the location should not tend to waterlogging. Woodruff is generally hardy, but in higher or exposed locations it should be covered with a layer of leaves in winter.
Grow woodruff in the pot
Basically, the woodruff can also be grown in the pot like other herbs and medicinal plants. However, the woodruff tends more quickly to drought damage than coming from the south herbs such as rosemary and oregano. Therefore, a shady place even with an extension in a pot on the balcony or on the terrace is mandatory. In addition, the planter should be large enough, as the woodruff with its roots spreads in the soil and so increased. It is easier for you to keep the woodruff in the pot evenly moist, if you first line the planter with some clay and then fill it with a porous substrate.
Woodruff sow and harvest
In order to be able to harvest woodruff for use in the kitchen in spring already before the flowering season, you must sow the seeds already in the previous autumn. Pay particular attention to the following factors:
Tips & Tricks
If you already have stocks of woodruff in the garden, you can multiply this by dividing dug out rhizomes.
