Carpet Weed Is Not Desirable
Monday, June 15th, 2009Ask the Expert: please ID plant
I want to know if this plant should be in my planter or not. I’m afraid that it may have been seeded by an airborn weed. I can’t taste anything with the leaf. The plants are 4-6 inches high. Elaine

I believe the plant is called Carpet Weed (Mollugo verticillata) and is something you do not want. You would be correct that the seed probably blew into your pot.
