The aggressive weed thrives in wet, shaded areas and can easily take over your entire lawn. It&#8217;s a low-growing weed with scalloped leaves &#8211; it&#8217;s part of the mint family and its vines grow quickly. With some regular maintenance, you can take back your lawn. Use these tips from Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet and Ortho.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Get Rid of Creeping Charlie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1. The best time to control Creeping Charlie is in the spring\/early summer when the weed is in full bloom, or in the fall.
