It spreads but slow enough and obviously enough that I don't mind it. I also have creeping mazus (cupflower), which is walkable and has small white flowers in the spring. Its a bit more invasive and I do have to watch it. It is very low and really quite awesome Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-91167184949301215412011-03-05T21:47:38.413-08:002011-03-05T21:47:38.413-08:00I love your groundcovers.
