Creeping wood-sorrel is a low-growing, adaptable plant that tolerates a wide range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Water moderately and ensure good drainage, as it can tolerate brief dry spells but dislikes waterlogged soil. It spreads readily through seeds and stolons, so monitor it in garden beds to prevent unwanted spreading.
