Woodruff is now at home in many gardens. If you can't get enough of the plant, simply multiply it. All you need is a little longer breath. But it's worth it!
Woodruff is no longer only found in the forest. In the meantime, many gardeners have brought the plant with the spicy leaves into the garden. After all, all sorts of delicacies can be conjured up from it, such as syrup, punch and the famous jelly.
These delicacies taste best with fresh woodruff. In order to always have something of the forest plant in the house, it is worth propagating the woodruff.
You have two different options for this and we would like to present them to you in more detail here.
Propagating woodruff - 2 possibilities presented
Variant 1: Propagation by seeds
Woodruff can easily be propagated by seeds. You can get the seeds of the plant in many well-stocked garden centers, but also on the Internet. But if you already have a plant in your garden, you don't really have to worry about seed propagation. The plant does this by itself when it loses its seeds after flowering.
The location of the woodruff plant is important and decisive. She loves it in the shade, with humus-rich soil and not too dry. The best time for sowing is between September and January.
» Please note: Woodruff germinates very slowly. It can take up to five months for the seeds to sprout. So don't be surprised if something doesn't happen right away.
Variant 2: Propagation by division
You can achieve significantly faster success when multiplying by sharing. Here you have to carefully dig up any plant in the fall or spring.
The roots of the plant must be divided with the shovel in such a way that at least one shoot remains on the section. This is then carefully placed in a prepared planting hole. Water the woodruff well and press the soil down again.
» Important: The plant needs a lot of water in the first week. So water regularly. This is the only way for the plant to take root well.
