Important Note about starting Ground Cover Seeds: Ground Covers should be started as "plugs" inside in plug starting trays and then transplanted outside as plugs in order to establish a ground cover. You should not try to direct sow seeds outside, you will receive very poor results this way, and we will not warrant the seeds if this method is used, we will only warrant seeds if they are started as plugs.
We have developed the Seedman's Plug Starting Kit for this purpose.

HR215 Sweet Woodruff Galium Oodratum Zone 6-8. Sweet woodruff is a mat-forming perennial that is most often grown as a ground cover in shady areas. Plants typically grow 8-12" tall and feature fragrant, lance-shaped, dark green leaves in whorls of 6-8 along square stems. Small, fragrant, 4-petaled, white flowers appear in loose cymes in spring. Plants emit a strong odor of freshly mown hay when foliage is crushed or cut. Aromatic intensity of the foliage increases when dried, thus dried leaves are popularly used in sachets or potpourris. Plants have also been used commercially in perfumes. Leaves are sometimes used to flavor teas and cold fruit drinks. Leaves are also used to make May wine, a punch made from white wine flavored with woodruff, orange and pineapple. Woodruff comes from Old English meaning wood that unravels, in probable reference to the creeping rootstock of the plant. Formerly known as Asperula odorata.

2120 Creeping Mahonia Mahonia repens An excellent ground cover for zones 5-9. Creeping mahonia (sometimes also called creeping hollygrape) is a low-growing, stoloniferous, evergreen shrub or shrublet which typically grows to 1' tall and spreads by underground stems to form an attractive ground cover. Features holly-like, odd-pinnate, compound leaves with oval, spiny-toothed, leathery, bluish-green leaflets (usually 3-7). Foliage turns purplish in winter. Deep yellow flowers appear in small racemes (1-3") in spring and are followed by small clusters of grape-like, dark bluish-purple berries (1/4" diameter) which mature in late summer. Berries are very sour but edible and can be used in jellies. Yellow stem wood was used by Native Americans to produce yellow dyes and a bitter tonic. Although a very small plant, Oregon Grape is conspicuous for many reasons: it often grows alone on warm, barren, rocky hillsides (although it is also at home in moist forests); its holly-like, thick (but brittle) leaves are eye-catching; it is usually evergreen (although the leaves commonly turn red in the fall, they do remain on the plant), making it a wonderful ornamental plant as well. 1 Teaspoon pack of seeds per pack ( 200+ seeds ). Price per pack: $5.95
