Is it native? We’re trying to de-lawn and this came up. I love the little yellow flowers

Horseherb
Horse herb
Calyptocarpus vialis, a native and great ground cover

The best squishy little ground cover I’ve ever had the luck to grow free in my yard
Horse’s herb is awesome! I’m going to loot the seed pods around my complex when they are ready and try to get it to grow in my yard.
While we’re here, has anyone ever seen bees go for horse herb flowers?
Three cheers for horse herb!
While yall are here, does anyone know how I can encourage the horseherb that’s already in my yard to spread? Can I do something with the flowers to seed other spots it hasn’t reached yet?
Not OP, but horseherb related question: has anybody ever successfully transplanted this and gotten it to spread to another part of the yard?
Horseherb, best ground cover. My yard is 25% this and wish it was 100% this.
Love this plant! Many childhood years spent playing and rolling around in it 🙂
Horse herb for the win. I’m on year two of choking out the grass with horse herb. About 60% there.
OMG! I’m so happy to hear this.. I don’t know if it was our rainy spring but it’s covering almost 75% of our front yard. Our aggressive neglect of the st Augustine’s is finally paying off!
How do areas covered with horse herb look in the winter? Does it completely die off? Attempting to spread this in some bare patches
If I move mine to the yard will it choke out Bermuda and Saint Augustine eventually or does that need to be removed first
