| that is surrounded by gravel, would you suggest? I have decorative rocks and gravel surrounding some koi ponds. I have currently day lilly, tall grass, some salvia and hens and chicks but am looking for suggestions on what would grow over some of the gravel well. I tried transplanting some moss to some of the rocks to and only a bit made it, if you have any tips on that too that would be awesome:) I want to get seeds now so I can start my winter sowing! |

| I assume from your plant choices that it is full sun or at least a good deal of afternoon sun, and it isn't moist, did I guess right?? If so how about creeping thyme, which is suppose to hold light foot traffic. Or wintergreen, I feel in love with this plant a long time ago. It is evergreen and in the fall it produces berries that critters eat. Lovely ground cover!! DO NOT get chameleon, that plant is horrid and it is so aggressive it will take over your pond. Creeping jenny aurea looks lovely on rocks, but it will need to be kept moist and I have never seen seeds for it. |

| Oh and any moss needs moisture and some afternoon shade. I wouldn't think that any moss and sedum would grow in the same area. Also I didn't ask earlier but what zone are you in?? |

| Don't know if you're looking for something that can take foot traffic, but here are some low-growing or trailing perennials that have done well for me with winter sowing. They won't take foot traffic, though. Hardy Geranium 'Vision Light Pink' |
