I am looking for ideas for a wild plant for a particular situation in my garden. It's to go round my pond and partially cover the edging, a ground-cover type plant is what I'm thinking at the momet. The primary aim is to help my froglets when they emerge.
For various reasons, I am looking for:
1. Small leaves and low growing
2. Survives in shallow clay like soil (I'm willing to change soil type, pH and depth if necessary)
3. Easily propagated or cheap (I'm on a budget and I need around 20 small plants)
4. The plant must love full sun and the soil is
extremely dry. I know it's near a pond, but the pond is in full sun and under tall evergreens which soak up the moisture until it's bone-dry. (Refilling the pond is a weekly chore, but it makes the best use of the space I have)
5. Native if possible
Any suggestions gratefully received. The only plant I could think of was some kind of thyme.
