It is green and purple in color. It grows in a spiral kind of pattern I had noticed. It is slowly creeping out and taking up more space. It is very low to the ground and I noticed in spring it had tiny little purple flowers that shoot up about 3 inches at the most. The leaves are kind of scalloped on the edges and small and kind of long (like oval or rectangular) in shape. Please help help me find the name of this plant. I would like to know more about it.
How do I identify a ground cover plant in my yard?
Sounds like it might be Ajuga reptans also known as Bugleweed.

Reply:It almost sounds like what they call a "Wandering Jew" %26lt;--common name.
If you have a digital camera, take a pix of it, then find a plant site where you can e-mail it to for ID.
Reply:There are a few ground covers that sound very similar to the one you describe, so I suggest you take a piece of the plant to your local Nursery or Garden Centre so a Qualified Horticulturalist can Id it for you.
