Need a plant for my front walkway.?

I am changing the look of my yard, and I wanted to know if there are any plants that only grow about a half an inch to an inch tall that wouldn't be hurt too badly if they were stepped on to plant between my walk way stones. I was thinking of maybe a moss that I say on TV but I can't remember what it's called!! I want something that I don't have to cut a lot to keep it from growing over my stones.





Any Suggestions?

Here's a link discussing this very thing:

Reply:I won't be able to answer your question but will give a word of warning---- the South is covered up in Kudzu because some very intelligent people thought it made a good erosion control plant.(The dirt errodes from under it, leaving huge gullies and it covers everything!!) Be sure to check how the plants grow--seed, rhizomes, etc. and how difficult it is to control!!!!!!!! Good Luck
Reply:Moss rose might be what you are thinking about. It is more of a ground cover and blooms when the sun shines on it. All different colors--it is pretty. Also, there is a sedum which is short--almost like a ground cover--blooms purple. It requires little sun and little moisture.
Reply:http://www.stepables.com/ Select Plant Info from the menu on left, then select Plant Search.





This company has over 130 different ground covers that you can walk on. Their website makes it really easy to select the right plants, because you can search by flower and/or foliage color, how much light the area gets, how much foot traffic, what zone you're in, how tall you want the plants to get, how fast growing you want, etc.





I use their website search function all the time to find out just what is going to meet a client's needs for hardy groundcovers.





Good luck with your yard.
Reply:I would also recommend the spider plants or any ground covers.
Reply:I would recommend one or more of the low-growing thymes. Many garden stores now sell what they call "stepables" - they can be stepped on, and thymes are often the plants featured.
Reply:I'M NOT sure, do you want, like, maybe flowers? Like, there's this one called a Vinca that they sell at Home Depot. I"m not sure how much it grows though.
