Though it bears an unfortunate common name, Rupturewort, Green Carpet (Herniaria glabra) makes a stellar groundcover in irrigated gardens. It grows quickly to fill open spaces between flagstone and in bed margins, where it stabilizes loose soil, suppresses weed growth, and provides a lush, green look. Green Carpet can even be used as a lawn replacement for those who have smaller yards and use their lawns lightly or moderately. It's not recommended as a lawn replacement for larger families or households with dogs, which typically are considered to be "high traffic" lawn users, though it still works wonders as a living mulch for such households. Green Carpet is also more vigorous in part-shade than many lawn alternatives, like buffalo grass, though not quite as drought-tolerant. Easy-to-grow and can be divided and replanted at home to fill bare patches in.
