Hi. I have a large backyard with two large hills. Both hills are in full sun and are nothing but weeds now. The hills are about 40 to 50 yards long and about 15 feet from bottom to top.
We want to plant ground cover that looks nice and will kill off the weeds. We originally were going to use Virginia Creeper but we have two dogs and we found out they are dangerous for dogs due to the crystals in the leaves and stems. So, we are trying to find another good option.
Sedums seem to be a possible option. I just cannot find anyplace that says how much they will spread. Will they spread 3 or 4 feet and stop or will they keep spreading as long as I let them? I would imagine I will need to start out with a few plants but my hope is I will not need a lot and they will spread enough to eventually cover all that area.
Does anyone have good information pertaining to Sedums or maybe some other options that might work better for us?
Thank You!
