Ground covers

11 years ago

What are these three shrubs/ground cover plants? I would like to use the first one as a filler between cement steps. I also want to see if the last plant image is edible.

thank you!

    3 is Pilea microphylla, I believe, aka Artillery Weed. (I've never seen it as it doesn't grow over here so check some images).

    Can you show the red flower close up?
