    Looks like ivy to me. Some ivies do sprawl along the ground, they are planted for the purpose of ground cover.

    Is it spreading along by its stems, or growing straight out of the ground?

    I agree about ivy, but not hedera, more likely 'ground ivy' which is no relation. Does it have a soft leaf or a leathery one?
