General Discussion & Chat: Groundcover, 1 by lupinelover

I have a lot of groundcovers that take some amount of foot-traffic. I am not sure if it might be too hot where you live, but check into:

mazus reptans (my favorite) -- lots of foot traffic
ajuga -- lots of foot traffic
pachysandra -- medium foot traffic
English ivy -- lots of foot traffic, but beware of tripping on vines
crown vetch -- lots of foot traffic
lots of thyme varieties, especially prostrate ones -- lots of foot traffic
phlox subulata -- medium foot traffic
ice plant (Delosperma) -- medium foot traffic
Creeping speedwell -- lots of foot traffic

This list is a good starting-off point -- good luck! Much better than having to mow a grass lawn! Here is a photo of part of my Thyme Lawn.
