creeping charlie smell
Unfortunately, it is not an easy task to kill creeping Charlie. Creeping Charlie is a perennial weed that grows low to the ground. A member of the mint family, creeping Charlie will produce a minty scent when its leaves are crushed and it sends out tiny, but rather pretty blue-violet flowers in the spring. Creeping Charlie will reproduce from its seeds, but it spreads most readily by setting down roots all along its long stems.
