    Native to the Eastern and Southeastern United States, this plant grows in full sun and shade, has a strong root system and spreads by runners. The seeds are very sticky and if you happen to brush against a plant full of seeds your clothes will be covered with them. This plant is spreading throughout my lawn and although I consider it a weed I do like the pretty little pink flowers!
