This delightful native weed continues to thrive in the ‘Great Lawn’, despite repeated attempts at eradication. A plant this tough deserves at least a little bit of respect... It goes by many common names, but ‘creeping or threadstalk speedwell’ are the two most common names. Creeping is a definite clue in describing how this plant insinuates itself into places where it may not be welcome.
