Karen, I grow Frogfruit, which is a native groundcover. I have it because most of my plants are for butterflies, and the Buckeye and Crescent butterflies use it as a host plant. It is low and spreads good by rooting from nodules. This makes it really easy to control. Just pull it up and scoot it over or pinch it off. You might look into it. It gets small white flowers on it in the summer.

This is a toad in my Frogfruit. You can see the leaf shape and where the tiny little flowers were. I'll try to take a different pic later.
