scotchoiloilo thank you! Really appreciate this. A few more questions. Are baby tears easier to grow then thyme? Do they creep fast and like the sun. I have a relatively large area to cover. Also the fern is called foxtail but then I have a different variety with me. Would you know the scientific name?
debora carl landscape design Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myers’ is the botanical name for Foxtail Fern. Baby's Tears does better in part shade to full shade. The various ground cover thymes are better suited for full sun areas.

Elfin thyme (Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin'), USDA zones 4-8. Elfin thyme is much like creeping thyme, but in miniature. It's just as aromatic as its larger counterpart, and blooms with purple flowers in summer. Elfin thyme is a very slow-growing ground cover, and usually won't get more than 1-2 inches high. It's fairly drought tolerant, but should be watered when the top three inches of soil is dry. It grows in small, hilly bunches in the shade, but tends to have a more flat and horizontal appearance when grown in the sun.
