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?

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.

I should ad....this is a Full Sun area.
