Echeveria
Generally grown in pots, Echeverias actually make great groundcovers, forming a mat of grey leafed rosettes. These plants are incredibly easy to propagate and grow from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings, giving you plenty of options.
They deserve a mention for their tough drought-resistant nature, needing virtually no care to look good. In fact, a little neglect will go a long way – just don’t overwater them.

Silver mound artemisia can be grown in full sun and partial shade. This variety is not invasive and is not a fast grower, but will last for years in the garden.
