Dicots [Paraphyletic] (Class Magnoliopsida)Observer
rosemaryannebDescription
This spreads very easily, apparently along the ground just below the surface. It has never flowered. Doesn’t look like mahoe to me but I’m happy to be corrected. My main concern is its very rapid spread this year, after many years of growing slowly.
