My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need Purple/Blue ground cover

12 years ago

Can anyone recommend a flowering ground cover that meets the below criteria:

1. Color is purple or blue
2. Grows no higher than 6 inches
3. Has somewhat large seeds
4. Grows fast from seed

I have a border area that I'm trying to fill in. I've already tried sweet alyssum and those tiny seeds are not cooperating. Also tried lobelia. I'm now open to a ground cover type plant.

Thanks!!!
