How to Select Healthy Sweet Woodruff?

To purchase and select a healthy sweet woodruff, look for vibrant, consistently green leaves without discolorations or spots. Ensure there are no visible pests such as aphids or mites on the plant. Check that the stems are robust and the plant appears vigorous and well-watered, not wilted or dry. A healthy sweet woodruff should have a well-developed root system but avoid plants that are root-bound or have roots growing out of the container. Inspect for overall growth and vitality to ensure you’re selecting a strong, healthy specimen.
