I live in southern CT. We’ve done nothing to maintain the grass lawn that came with our house. With the trend toward dryer conditions most of our grass has died off and has been replaced by this. It’s fluffy and pretty, it grows slowly and appears drought tolerant. I’m hoping it’s native and I can encourage it spreading with further negligence. Can anyone ID?

Knotweed maybe
Does it smell spicy, does it flower? I have creeping thyme in my bee lawn.
Prostrate knotweed (Polygonum aviculare).

Take a picture of the plant, upload it.
I’ve used the first one, is usually spot on.
