| I live in Riverside, California -- mid-way between Los Angeles and Palm Springs -- where the summer temperatures often exceed 100 degrees.
In the front of my house, I have a 30' by 20' garden containing about a dozen roses and other shrubs. Years ago, I planted gazanias as a groundcover but they now unattractively thin, lanking and gangly. I'd like to replace the gazanias with an attractive groundcover that flowers more-or-less continuously. What are good candidates? |

| I love sedum as a groundcover. |

| I would suggest looking around where you live and find what you are looking for already growing, then finding it in a local nursery. Does iceplant do well where you live? In the mountains they grow kinnickinnick, which has glossy green leaves and spreads slowly. It would flower only a little in spring. |
