  • Question

    This groundcover voluntarily grew in my yard after I planted the chick and hen. It's quite pretty, but I would like to know what it is, how it got there, how tall it will get, how it will spread, if it will flower, etc. this is in Wilmington North Carolina .

    Answer

    Dear Mosunshn, beautiful image, but this plant is growing far out my range of expertise (Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England). While I can often help with species outside of the northeastern United States, in this case, I would suggest you connect with the folks at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. There is an excellent herbarium there that could answer this plant identification question. Best wishes.
