Deer Resistant Groundcover for Blazing Heat

14 years ago

I would appreciate recommendations for a low growing, aggressive ground cover that must also be deer resistant and can handle blazing full sun (temps have been 104 to 105 the last few days). I have about 3000 sq. ft. to cover on a slope and I don't want more turf grass.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
