Mazus miquelii
Also called Miquel’s Mazus
Miquel's mazus is a low, creeping perennial groundcover that spreads by rooting stolons and produces blue or purple flowers from June to August. It grows best in moist, bog-like conditions and is considered invasive in parts of the north-eastern United States.
Mazus miquelii, commonly known as Miquel's mazus or creeping mazus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Mazaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial groundcover native to South Central China, Southeast China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Mazus reptans is now considered a heterotypic synonym of M. miquelii, but is still often used in the ornamental plant trade.
Mazus miquelii has been introduced in North America, and as such is considered an invasive weed, especially in parts of the north-eastern United States. This species thrives in damp, bog-like conditions, and cannot tolerate dry periods.
