Three flower beggar weed - grsjax - 05-08-2011
The extention service publication on orchard ground cover gives this plant high marks. I know it is considered invasive on the mainland but I guess it isn't much of a problem here if the Col. of Ag is recommending it. Does anyone know of a source of seeds or plugs for this plant?
No matter how thin you slice it, its still balony.

It's very invasive here too. If you want seeds, just walk though a patch of it. You'll have hundreds stuck to your clothes. I have to pick them off my dogs nearly every day.

You are talking about "beggar's tick". grsjax is talking about that stuff that gets into your lawn.
