the native plants are definitely more enticing to me, but i understand what you are saying about the environment not being exactly right - although it sounds like i can selectively plant it in places where it will be more sheltered. i'm open to other types of ground covers, including peanut grass, that would do better where i'm at. I may sound ambitious, and i've lived in glenwood for 5 years, and it's only a few miles away as a crow flies, but my new place in mtn view is much drier, and it's up on a hill and gets a lot of sunlight and breezes.
i would like to be able to walk in some places, but other places, i would prefer to just cover the ground with something to inhibit the weeds from ever coming in. i'm trying to do this right from the beginning so i'm not fighting back a bunch of weeds in 3 months.
what about ala ala wainui? i have a couple of those in a greenhouse in pots and they seem like they would do really well up here. i'd like to get them in the ground to see if they will start spreading.
any other suggestions for ground covers for mtn view area that are not necessarily native, but not invasive either?
