The Gardener's Notepad
A sweetly scented ground cover with small pure white flowers. Drought tolerant once established, and is happiest in slightly dry shade. I have seen them decline by late Summer, but they always come roaring back the following Spring. Also said to be used in wine-making. How that is done I have no idea, and who would've even thought to check?
