Ground ivy is a creeping, perennial plant found in moist soils of the eastern states and the Pacific coast, as well as in Europe. The four-sided, finely haired, procumbent stem, from a few inches to 2 feet long, grows roots from the nodes along its length. The leaves are opposite, hairy, crenate, from reniform to cordate but nearly round. The bluish-purple, two-lipped flowers grow in axillary whorls of six from April to July.
