A spreading plant is a type of plant that grows and spreads quickly, often taking over other plants in its environment. Two examples of spreading plants are Kudzu (5 letters) and CREEPER (7 letters). Kudzu is a fast-growing vine native to Japan, China, and parts of Southeast Asia. It has been introduced to many other parts of the world, where it can become an invasive species. CREEPER is a type of plant that grows along the ground, sending out shoots that root and spread. It is often used as a ground cover in gardens and landscapes.
