Can Sweet Woodruff Be Cut And Kept Low At 2 – 3 Inches?

Question

I’m trying to find a ground cover for part shade that will stay below 3 inches in height. I don’t think the area gets enough sun for thyme, but too much for moss. Any suggestions? Thanks

This article gives suggestions for your zone 6. It does mention sweet woodruff. It could be cut but you will likely lose the flowers.
