    Looking for an ID to the following plant. It stays low like a ground cover but tends to creep more like a vine across the ground.

    I thought it might be Mazus or the Ivy/Creeping Charlie type covers but the leaves don't seem to match and the flowers are a bit different.

    Need to ID as it spreads fairly quick and wondering if I should take it out.

    dss,
    Common name Kenilworth Ivy, but it's not even an ivy. Every time I move I take a little piece of this plant with me. It will grow any where, even cracks it the cement. If it goes nuts, as it tends to do, it's easy to pull out. It drapes over the edge of a planter well and tucks in so many places. It's one of my favorites.....barb

    It does propagate extremely easily. I really like it.
