Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Ground Ivy, Glechoma hederacea, is a creeping perennial that roots at the nodes very easily thus if you do not want it to take over your garden, it is best grown in clumps where you can confine the plant or you can grow it in pots or containers. Thrives in moist not saturated shaded areas, but will also tolerate sun.
