Psilotaceae
There’s a fun little identifying trick you can use on members of the mint family (Lamiaceae). Feel the stem and it should be square!

That would cost you $5 at the nursery. Score.

Was gonna say blue flowers, I put some in a bed and can confirm it spreads, not in a bad way though, quite like how it pops up here and there ready for “no mow May”

Bugleweed. Great ground cover. In zone 9, bugleweed at nurseries comes in 2 sizes, the smaller leaf plant (pictured above), and a larger leaf variety, which allows for quicker coverage.

People pay a lot of money for bugleweed. Labeled Ajuga at most garden stores, it makes a fantastic informal path cover.

Bugleweed is so pretty. I have some scattered throughout my garden beds, it’s like knock off lavender in appearance lol.
I’m so jealous that you have bugleweed just growing in your lawn like nothing.
