    I am looking to build a stone path through my yard but will have areas that need a drought-resistant ground cover that will stay alive in Zone 9 throughout the year. I am very new to gardening but want to create some beauty in my very plain yard. Any ideas?

    Here are a few suggestions for sun and shade, all drought tolerant.
