Notes:
Need to find out if this is toxic to animals. The flowers are small and white. This grows up and spreads out over the ground. Currently around 10-12″ tall.

Thank you so much! I agree that’s what it looks like. It would seem my dog is self-medicating since this herb is used as a detoxifier for the lymph system. She was diagnosed with cancer almost nine months ago and has way outlived her expected time frame because of a diet change, herbs and vitamins. I’m pretty happy to have this herb growing in my yard!
