I have an area on the side of the house that has a few plants and the rest is bald, I am hoping to get a ground cover in there to help with the weeds that keep coming I want one that is fast spreading!
thanks

First of all, is it in sun or shade?

I would suggest bugleweed also known as ajuga. it is drought hardy and can handle both sun or shade, it comes in numerous varieties. Plus in the spring it offers a nice pretty flower, spreads nicely too. In the picture of the pond you can see it in the front. It has many foliage options the darker colors tend to be hardier. I love it!
