Also affectionately known as Ground Ivy, this evergreen perennial herb is part of the aromatic mint family and native to the lush landscapes of Europe and Asia.

Ground Ivy showcases an impressive adaptability, thriving in conditions from full sun to complete shade, making it an excellent choice for varied garden settings. Its sturdy low-growing and expansive growth characteristic makes it a prime choice for carpet-like ground coverage or a natural ally in the battle against soil erosion.
