Looking for the ultimate spreading flower / maybe even a weed

[Two_Sheds]

lovely Lamiums!

Someone gave me 'dead nettle'

Same thing

I can't bear the smell myself, makes me retch

Thanks Two Sheds - Lamium... flowering at the moment in my pots having survived some really strange weather over the last few months here on the south coast

[shushkin!]

Veronica peduncularis 'Georgia Blue' is an excellent spreader for me.
It is in flower at the moment and is tough as old boots but easy to control
My soil is heavy clay and the aspect south.

Euonymus? ...

Yes, thanks TS - wish I had a brain that remembered useful things, instead of 'trivia'

I've also thought of another option for you; Epimedium. There's a weed version colonising happily all over the farm/stables. Round the bottom of the buildings, even the bottom of the straw stack. Quite hardy, and pretty little heart-shaped leaves.
