A low-growing plant with small leaves that spreads across the ground like a carpet, especially Herniaria glabra or similar ground-cover plants.
From 'carpet' and 'weed,' describing the plant's habit of forming a dense, carpet-like ground cover. Common name reflecting its appearance and growth pattern.
Carpetweed is nature's solution to the carpet industry—it literally spreads like a plant-based floor covering, which is why some gardeners cultivate it and others fight it!
