GROUND IVY

It's no relation of ivy nor does it even look like ivy but Ground Ivy does keep close to the ground.  It is often rather shy, hiding amongst other plants.  Here it is, nestling amongst goosegrass and stinging nettles.


The rounded leaves have scalloped edges.  Although the flowering stems stand erect, other stems creep along the ground, rooting as they go so that a plant soon spreads and becomes a clump.
