I'd like to see pictures of different ground covers or just ideas for some.

Love sedums for hot sunny ground covers. Acer looks like verry small borrow's tail and blooms in yellow only gets about 2 to 3" high.
Dragon's Blood - 6 ot 7" mat/mound forming with pink/redish flowers
Johnny Creech - 6 to 7" mat/mound forming with pinl/redish flowers
Sedum kamtshaticum Variegata - blooms in yellow.

Also like snow in summer (Cerastium tomentosum) blooms in white and has the "dusty miller" colored leaves

Also like Dianthus, Creeping Thyme (very low and can be walked on - good for path edges)

Oops, I have my hardy geraniums in full sun and they seem to do just fine.

Sash, my hardy geranium says to plant in full sun too, so I don't think it's a problem.

I think Sweetpea clicked on the wrong face!!!
My 3 favs are Hen&Chicks, Creeping thyme, or wooly thyme (which I like more than the reg. creeping thyme).

Hens 'n chicks "scare" SP. No one knows why. We're hoping that one day she'll be able to talk about it. We don't want to pressure her before she's ready. In the meantime, no one is allowed to say the H 'n C word!
