Thanks Debra! Those are some good ones!

I didn't know that Candytuft was considered a ground cover. I've got some here that came with the house, and it sure isn't covering anything! I do love it though.

Snow in Summer doesn't do good here, according to my neighbor. She said she's planted it a few times, and it never survives the winter. Not sure why, other than it may be too warm.

I'd love to plant Creeping Thyme, and probably will eventually. It is a good one for honey bees too. I have several large areas of it at our house in Utah, and it was one of my favorites. It just didn't bloom long enough. It also handles some foot traffic, which is a plus. I can just see the dogs running through it, and smelling good when they are done! I'll save that one for a special spot!
