Woodruff are small spreading plants that make a great plant for rockeries. They can also be used to cover bare ground.
A member of the Rubiaceae family (Bedstraws) this plant looks not unlike low growing Galium species such as Galium saxatile. (Heath Bedstraw). Some flowers can be white and others pink and the plants in Asperula genus are known as Woodruffs.
The interesting common name comes from Squinancy and old English word for a sore throat and according to Geoffrey Grigson in his Englishman's Flora, Asperula cynanchica was used to make a concoction which you used as a gargle. Wort means flower or plant hand so Squinancywort means Sore Throat plant
