Groundcover – Horseherb<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"content_img.10782.img.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Horseherb (or Stragglers Weed)<\/b><\/p>\n

One of my favorite groundcovers is considered a weed by many. Here is some information about this easy-to-grow plant so maybe I can change some minds.<\/p>\n

Calyptocarpus vialis<\/em> \u2014 ka-lip-toe-CAR-pus<\/p>\n

Deciduous to semi-evergreen groundcover for sun, shade or part shade.<\/p>\n

HEIGHT<\/b>: 8-10\u201d Spread 18-36\u201d
SPACING<\/b>: 12-15\u201d<\/p>\n

HABIT<\/strong>: Ever blooming tiny yellow flowers. Very easy to grow in any soil. Evergreen in the southern part of the country. Freezes to the ground in the northern areas but returns each spring. Hardiness zones 7-12.<\/p>\n

CULTURE<\/strong>: Drought tolerant and pest free.<\/p>\n

\"content_img.10785.img.jpg\"<\/p>\n

USES<\/strong>: Natural ground cover. Should be used more. Looks terrific when planted with wild violets.<\/p>\n

PROBLEMS<\/strong>: Some people still consider it a weed \u2013 that\u2019s too bad.<\/p>\n

Map below from the USDA shows where horseherb has been found growing in the wild. Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n
