I'm looking for a low growing evergreen ground cover much like Asiatic
jasmine, but would prefer something with flowers (color besides
white).
Any
ideas?


Ruellia 'Katies Dwarf'
Ajuga
Horse Herb
Liriope
Salvia bicolor 'Sapphire Gem'

After several years of not watering my backyard, I have extensive
coverage
of horseherb. I like it just fine, but I would quibble with calling it
an
evergreen. It doesn't completely go away in the winter, but it's mostly
just wiry stems.


Oops, I didn't pay attention to the evergreen part. Sorry about that.

Not a problem. I think it was one of your posts on groundcover that led me
to discover what this 'weed' was in my backyard. I read up on it and
decided to go with it for the 'natural' area of my yard. It's lush, has a
little bit of color and looks nice whether mowed or ignored. Its leafy,
mounding shape works well to keep the soil cool and humid. I wouldn't use
it for a front lawn, but it's a good alternative in a place you might use
buffalo grass. Buffalo grass also looks pretty mediocre in the winter.
