This is the groundcover to cover that trouble-spot. Mine grows over a downspout and completely covers it up by June. I never water it. Weeds barely sprout in it. All I do is cut back the dead plants before spring growth starts. The yellow flowers cover it in mid summer. I does self seed a very little bit. Its vegetative spread is easily contained. It's happy with only morning sun along a NE wall.

I use this sedum to edge some of my flower beds and like it because it greens up and starts growing very early in the spring and gives me something green to look at before much else is growing. I do have to go around once a year and dig back any that is spreading too far into my beds, but it is swallow rooted so this is easy to do. I never water it and it does great planned right next to the sidewalk and street.

This sedum helps to fill the gaps between steppingstones and plants. It also grows on the roof of my garden shed. It needs little soil to grow an can stand the dry, hot and sunny conditions there making a nice tapestry at the same time.
