soc_puppet: Words "Baseless Opinion" in orange (Baseless Opinion)

I totally get why creeping charlie has a bad rep (and, as of making this post, am zero percent surprised to learn that it's in the mint family), but it is such a pretty plant. Those tiny trumpet-like flowers! The purple edges on the scalloped leaves! The way it perks up in spring alongside dandelions and violets! I have absolutely no objections to it taking over an entire lawn.

AMEN!

I totally agree. It's not so wonderful underfoot, though, so if one wants to frolic in the yard with one's companions.

Today I learned what creeping plants/creepers are and, just like you, I am not surprised that they're in the mint family xD

My mom used to joke that if you want to ruin a gardener's life all you have to do is throw some Bermuda grass and some mint in their garden, they'll never get be free :D

Maybe they'll mix together to create a superior strain of mint, who knows! :D
