Helli, I would like to know what this weed or ground cover is that's growing in my lawn like a mat. I do like it wish it was all that instead of grass. I know I'm weird.
Thank you
Sherry

I don't have any input about your plant, but don't think your wish is weird at all. Not everyone wants to tend a monoculture of grass. Very expensive, time-consuming, noisy, and no flowers. I'm working on getting rid of ours in favor of anything else that doesn't need to be mowed.

Hi Scoonzie and welcome! It does look much like Lesser Mexican Stonecrop (Sedum confusum)

Wonderful groundcover!! Thumbs up

It's not a succulent, more like the texture of moneywort

thyme has a strong scent when you rub the leaves. So does oregano.

That's a good clue. Can't remember hearing a Sedum described as having a scent at all.
