- This plant is considered "moderately invasive" in this document: https://www.wvdnr.gov/Wildlife/Handout%20Invasive%20Plants%20of%20WV%202009.pdf.
However, it is edible, and I made a salve out of it that truly does help with itchy insect bites! It has taken over our Maryland Lawn, but in Tanner, it does not seem that pervasive. Ground Ivy is more so.
