Australian blooming ground cover?
Late last summer, you mentioned a shade-loving ground cover from Australia, that had blossoms and tolerated foot traffic. It sounded like exactly what I had been looking for, but I lost the article! I try to save all of yours, as they provide excellent information, but somehow, this one disappeared. Help! Can you locate it for me?
I read your column in the Kent Reporter, and it is my most useful garden reference. THANK YOU!

My best recollection is a ground cover with tiny blue blooms called Blue Star Creeper available at most local nurseries. The garden gossip on this groundcover is that it can spread into your lawn so if you don't want a blooming blue lawn keep this groundcover contained with a secure border. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
