Dwarf snapdragon (Diclis reptans)

Dwarf snapdragon

Dwarf snapdragon is a perennial groundcover with trailing stems that root at the nodes, creating a dense carpet-like appearance. Its leaves are oval-shaped and often have a glossy texture, reflective of its preference for moist, shaded environments. Small, inconspicuous flowers may emerge, but it is the spreading habit of dwarf snapdragon that primarily aids in its survival, rapidly covering the ground and competing for space and resources.
