A lovely ground cover for the shade. Dark green whorls of leaves with dainty small white flowers in spring/summer. Spreads to make a good clump via rhizomes. As it is shallow rooted it competes well in the woodland, and does not require loads of watering. The scent from the leaves increases after harvest when they dry out. Traditionally used to sweeten the odours in a room by brushing the floor with dried leaves.

Attractive bright green leaves with yellow accents and red splotches makes this an unusual plant for the shade garden
Tall spires of pendulous green flowers with slightly flared petals make quite a statement in the garden. Leaves not as grey as G. princeps and stronger green flowers are later in January. Hard to find but very easy to grow in full sun.
