Arctotis is a great groundcover...... very hardy, needs minimal watering,
and with its grey foliage and many colourful flowering varieties available
it may be just what you need. Also, it is not terribly deep rooted and it's
foliage is quite soft (not prickly), so when you need to pull some away from
where you don't want it, it's an easy job.

Hi

I would like ground covers instead of mulch, our garden is coloured
foliage, hibiscus, few palms & some succulents so I would like something
to blend with this.
As in previous posts I was discussing my problem with mulch ending up in
the pool, & yes we have a cover but it still ends up in the water.
cheers
Sandra
