Jiffy, got a couple ideas for you here, Roman Chamomile(Richter's)is really cute, and can be cut like grass, or Soapwort, really pretty pink flowers(from july-sept) spreads to cover larges areas rather quickly and even grows well in poor soil.(6-8"). Um, magic carpet thyme or minus thyme are more good ones, magic reaches 2" high, and minus 1" high. I've seen pictures of huntington carpet rosemary, and it's beautiful! Periwinkle is beautiful too but more for shady areas. Hmm, let me think some more and get back to you. hope I've been of some help!

lots of help. i will have to check out which ones will tolerate the unbearable heat and humidity that our july's and august's bring!

thanks a bunch

Jiffymouse,

I bought some steppable lemon thyme last year...It did smell wonderful however it didn't spread as much as I would have liked...but that may be because it was put in a pretty shady area.

I still enjoyed it, and when the ground was moist it smelled wonderful. I used it around my stepping stones in a flower bed to gain access to my porch from the front.
