Gray field speedwell originated from Europe and Asia. It is a weed that can cause a significant nuisance in gardens due to its resilience and rapid expanding capabilities. This small flowering plant reproduces by seeds and has a persistent nature that enables it to resist control techniques. It is competent in invading landscapes, and due to its competitiveness, native plants struggle to thrive. This weed is harmful as it monopolizes resources such as light, space, water, and nutrients, stifling the growth of desired plants in a garden. Gray field speedwell primarily spreads via its seeds, which can be carried by the wind, water, or animals, allowing for swift and far-reaching dispersion. The plant's quick germination and establishment make its control in gardens particularly challenging.
