Not great with plants, but I don't think so

Looking like Ground Ivy leaves, the plant Glechoma hederacea.

No not mallow think your right with the ground ivy. I've only managed to find it once them it got chopped down the next day and never found it since. Thankfully plenty of other things near me to feed.

agree, not mallow.
I have got lots of baby mallows showing up in the garden so hoping to have them next year to sell, too late now to send I think. They make wonderful plants and the tortoises love them.
