Description/Size:

Freeze the sweet white May flowers that hover over dark green foliage, in ice cubes, to make ""May Wine"" during June's strawberry harvest. 3 tbsp blossoms in 1 gallon white wine impart a vanilla flavor. Add 1-2 cups fresh berries. This groundcover beat out the native violet (not to be confused with ""Sweet Violets"") and was weed-free by the 3rd spring. Essential faery garden plant. Be cautious if on ""blood thinning"" medicine.
