Carpetweed


This carpetweed (Mollugo verticillata) is at Purdue Hort Park, July 29, 2009. Carpetweed never gets too far off of the ground. From where it sprouts out of the ground it grows horizontally in any direction there is room for it. Carpetweed is another pioneer species that grows where we have taken away the original vegetation and because of this it is very common.
