Ok gang ... I've got this Chickweed growing in flowerbeds in my yard and I can't decide which one it is. It's low growing and has hairy stems (hairs all the way around) and little hairs on the leaves so I'm thinking it's Cerastium glomeratum ("Sticky Chickweed"/"Mouse Ear Chickweed") but I'm not certain because it doesn't really feel sticky. I've read that C. glomeratum grows more upright but this one definitely has a low, trailing, mat like growth. I don't think it's Common Chickweed (Stellaria media) because that one has hairs only on one side of the stem. Anyone recognize this one?
