We have a hillside in need of help.

This hillside runs along the front edge of our yard. The street slopes down and we are in a corner depression so the hill runs up from our yard to the street.

Last year we planted some mini holly and some burning bushes but I think because the soil there is mostly cinder run-off from the snow plows and dirt they didn't survive.

because we are high desert I need something very drought tollerant and that will grow and spread over the hill but stay low that grows well in a very rocky area.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ginger

Baby Tears is low growing, needs next to no water and is growing in the rocks at the edge of my driveway. It is a beautiful light green. It is listed in Plant Files on DG. Do you know how to get there?

Baby Tears is a kind of sedum.
