Tough groundcover for sidewalk?

14 years ago

Looking for something to plant between the street and sidewalk in lieu of the weeds/grass that are currently thriving! I want something that requires little maintenance. The area is in pretty much full sun.

Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions! Also, is there anything I can plant now or in the fall or should I wait until spring before tackling this?

Thanks again!

Try Creeping StJohnswort. Hypericum, I believe.
