I like the rosea iceplant, but I like the kind that does the purple carpet thing. I looked at the pics that sdgrl posted and while the flower is the same, the plant is different from what I was thinking of. Here are some pics I found of the one I like, the green part isn’t smooth, they have this lining redhawk parway in my hood, it looks like carpet or purple snow at times, not a speck of green is visible and it doesn’t have the thick, smooth plant leaves.
notice the green part resembles a worm as opposed to a sword, it should be obvious that i don’t know jack about plants, I just know that the purple carpet stuff is neato![/quote]
Wow – very cool stuff. I wonder if its easy to find at nurseries.

My next door neighbor also had ice plant on their slope, hated it, pulled it all out but didn’t replace it with anything and its true it just created a nasty mess even when she was just trying water her flowers. Needless to say- the ice plant is back.Here are some of my favorite ground covering plants:
Creeping Thyme (There are many different types of thyme):

Sagina subulata(Irish Moss):
Creeping Jenny:

Campanula Portenschlagiana:

Good Luck! Send us a pic once its all done![/quote]
Creeping Jenny is nice but loaded with pollen.
The moss is not drought tolerant.
I dig the last one.

ParticipantThats the stuff! I actually like that stuff. Not so much when its not blooming but its pretty when it is.
For a slope that is nothing but dirt and rock, not a bad thing to put down, especially if its in sun most of the time.
