Perhaps the love for creeping charlie is actually the love for swedish
ivy?? Swedish Ivy has similar growing patterns but, a more succulent
leaf. Also, has an aroma of lemon and comes varigated.
Charlie withstands freeze while Ivy likes it warm. Blossoms are
different as well. Blue blooms for Charlie and white for Ivy.
Maybe this is the confusion?? If anyone would like some Creeping
Charlie my yard is invaded.
Good growing

I just found a good recommendation for keeping the CC down...cutting the
grass high and hand pulling occasionally to keep it under control. As
well...someone had mentioned using Borax for CC? Apparently this is not
advised since it is detrimental to soil life.

I know very little about plant identification. Could someone please
recommend a good site on the Net where:
1: I could go to find pictures of plants I know the name of, and where
they grow
2: I could go to identify a plant of unknown name.
Thanks very much.

Kevin, have you never been to Virtual Garden? My daughter's on the net right
now, so I can't double check the URL. i think it's vg.com
