Question
This plant started appearing in May and is still happily growing in my backyard in Westford, MA. It has fringed leaves and dainty purple flowers. It sends out creepers and roots those. What is it?
Answer
Dear twexler, nice images, thank you for including more than one. This plant is Glechoma hederacea (Gill-over-the-ground), a non-native mint of open habitats, such as lawns and fields. It has beautiful flowers (as you have captured in the image).
