This small, prostrate plant from Europe is usually a lawn companion plant or weed in eastern North America. It is common in many lawns but not all over the place in the lawn, just in some spots. Not the same as the sort of similar Creeping Charlie that is much more widespread and aggressive. It can be a small weed in a planting border also.
