<p style="margin:0in">I’m not familiar with Mazus miquelii or Mazus pumilus – a perennial, creeping groundcover native to Japan and China. It is considered an invasive in the northeast according to Wikipedia. I’m finding much information about it being invasive
on the web and wanted to ask the MAIPC what experience you’ve had with this plant? EddMaps only has Mazus pumilus listed in the New York and New Jersey area. iNaturalist had a few points and one listed here in Reston, VA.
