I have some groundcover that I would like to identify. I've looked
through all of the garden websites, but it is hard to search on a
picture! You can see the groundcover and its flowers (sorry, the
flowers are kind of blury, but they are too small to focus on) at the
following:

Thank you both!!!

From the online pictures I found, it looks like either Myosotis
sylvatica or scorpioides, although I'm leaning towards Myosotis
sylvatica 'Royal Blue Compact'. It doesn't really matter which one.
The instructions I found for caring for either one are the same. Some
sites make it sound like it is invasive, but except for one small
section that I took the picture of, it is all dying. Hopefully, it
will do better next Spring (I just planted a few chunks this past
Spring from someone else's garden, so it may just be in shock). Other
information says it is biennial, so maybe I have to wait two years (?).
I guess I'll see. Thanks again!

I don't know what kind I have but it self seeds like crazy so yes it can
be invasive. They look terrible when they start to die off after
flowering.
