is this a ground cover plant? Looks like a woodland plant. I'll have to do some more checking it out.

It is. Where do you live?

and this is part of native plants for us. It's really lovely and I do have some shady areas that would be great to have the little understory plant rambling through.

Your post also started me on a plant journey through the interwebs. I could get lost for days and ignore the weeds being neglected in my own garden. oops
