Blue Woodruff
Asperula arvensis
Overview
Blue Woodruff (Asperula arvensis) is a perennial flower native to woodlands and meadows in Europe and parts of North America. It has delicate, star-like flowers that range from white to a light blue. The flowers are carried on held stems, giving it a soft, cascading appearance. Its fragrant, fern-like leaves are evergreen, providing year-round cover and greenery. The plant is useful for erosion control, as its dense root system holds the soil in place; it is also ideal for wildflower areas. Blue Woodruff requires minimal maintenance and can even thrive in dry, undernourished soil.
