Add Your Opinion About This Plant Kay (765) wrote on Jan 29 2010 Rating for this plant: a very nice ground cover for a woodland setting. Can be invasive, so give it some space to grow. Very fragrant flowers in the spring. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
