Lippia

Lippia is an evergreen, spreading mat-like ground cover that spreads vigorously and only gets a few inches tall.

Great for a butterfly garden as it is a source of nectar for may species of butterflies.  It is also sturdy enough to serve as a lawn substitute.  It can be  especially useful in heavy traffic areas, or to discourage digging dogs.

Very drought tolerant and tough, can handle drought and flooding.

This plant looks better with occasional deep watering and full sun.
