Creeping Charlie is a fast-growing evergreen perennial with erect stems that begin to trail as they mature and small green foliage with scalloped edges. The small white to pale purple flowers bloom on raceme throughout the year. Grows best with good direct sun and consistently moist well-drained soils. Excellent for containers or as a houseplant. Treat as an annual when planted outside.
