Here's a list of some of the groundcovers I've grown or are growing now:: Ajuga reptans "Burgundy Glow"; Armeria maritima; Aurinia saxatilis; Campanulas (several varieties); Ceratostigma; Dianthus (several varieties); Geranium (perennial, several varieties); Geum; Gypsophilla repens; Potentilla repens; Saponaria ocymoides; Sedum (several varieties); Spiarea ( I think its some sort of japonica, only get 4" tall with gold leaves, pink flowers); Stachys b. (leaves at 4-6", flower stalks at 12", many people don't allow to bloom cuz they just like the leaves); Teucreum;; Thymus; Veronica (sevral varieties); Vinca; Viola (jjs which reseed, I have several patches that are creating colonies). ........ Dianthus grationopolitanus both Cheddar pink (baths pinks) and "Firewitch" are generally spring bloomers and are very fragrant baths pinks got to 36" wide, "Firewitch only 4-6" wide. Generally speaking any plants that are gray leaved are drought tolerant. Also a tip; any new plants still need approx 1" of water a week til established (1rst year). Love Bluestone perenns., I personally have ordered from them for many years. Pix is dianthus g. Baths Pinks and Salvia Blue Queen. Good Luck, Kathy.
