Addendum:
I can supply starts of the groundcover Polygonum capitum, a type of knotweed known as "Pink Clover Flower".

It has its uses.

City of Fullerton includes it in their drought-resistant list... given a little water such as has fallen from our skies this spring, it covers pretty thoroughly with its reddish and green inch+ pointy leaves and little 1/2" round pink flowers. It will even extend a mat of leaves and flowers over a footstone or the manhole-cover to your water/cable.

Left unwatered in the sun, that mat gets pretty stringy/leggy looking by July or August. Not hard to pull, but hard to get rid of when established (breaks off under ground and comes back from any-and-every node). I don't hate it, but I do laugh to think I once petitioned Armstrongs to get me a flat! (at another house, it came with this one)

LMK, ~'spin!~
Here it is, "mulching" between the azaleas
