Moschatel
Adoxa moschatellina
Moschatel is a delicate woodland ground-cover plant that thrives in cool, shaded conditions with consistently moist, humus-rich soil, making it ideal for naturalising under trees or in a shaded border. It spreads gently via rhizomes and requires little intervention once established in the right conditions. Avoid hot, dry, or sunny spots as it is intolerant of drought and excess heat.
