It grows in small clumps but seeds around a lot. Especially in crevices.

We have it seeding around but in some places it sends out multiple short stolons that give rise to a mass of leaf but not much flowers. The seems to happen most in gravel or rocky substrates.

Robert and Jasmin I send greetings and thanks for your comments which are always welcome and thoughtful.
It occurred to me very early on in our garden journey that in talks and articles all the plants we were shown were the best and perfect. I decided then that it would have been more encouraging if we were shown the real side of gardening rather than the selected highlights and that is why I will share our successes and failures.
