I recently moved to a mobile park village, most of the homes have some kinds of rock cover, some atractive, some unpleasant, and hard to keep your footage, lava rock. I love plants, started to grow conainers, with different kinds of varieties I was not too familiar with, I face east, lighting is early morning sun to afternoon shade, perfect for my orchids of 32 yrs, under my overhang, cymbydium, and a gardenia plant of also 32 yrs. in a container.
I happened upon a plant ground cover, never having seen it before, called "Creeping Jenny" stuck in a few in the front strip between my sidewalk, next to street, into the lava area, and behold, magic. I know this plant is invasive, but it can go where ever it pleases, it can cover all the horrible lava rock it likes, don't mind at all, also have it hanging in many of my containers, just keep it trimmed back from any colorful plants in the center, it looks beautiful, also have aguga sp? mixed in with it, works fine, they seem to grow well together so far. Love your site, Worduser--
Creeping Jenny has never gotten out of hand for me. I have had it in North Florida where it dies back in the summer and Philadelphia, where it dies back in the winter. Several "invasive" plants work great in harsh, unsightly areas where I really want everything covered. Good luck with your gardening. Sarah
