Galium odoratum is commonly called the sweet-scented bedstraw. This perennial is quite tolerant of heavy shade which makes it the perfect evergreen ground cover for more shaded regions in your garden. At its full maturity, it will reach a height no more than one-quarter of a meter and a spread no more than one half of meter which makes it a very low growing option for your garden. This plant is a perennial so in colder areas, it may die back but in many areas of the UK is often grows all year round and never dies back which is why we recommended it on this list.
