It was used most effectively as ground cover in a small, shady courtyard show garden at Chelsea 2012, and can be seen in the walled garden at NT Mottisfont forming a wonderful ground cover under a fig tree.

Galium will spread quite vigorously, but it is a plant that will survive the toughest of dry shady conditions.
