Went by Curaleaf this morning. Landscaping staged but not squared away yet. Native plants would hold better in the wet soil. Anyone tried frogfruit as a ground cover?

Frogfruit is tough as nails, but it does sprawl a mess without some trimming. I’ve had good luck with it under my citrus where it doesn’t mind the shade, though it’s happiest in full sun.

Frogfruit is a wonderful choice; it thrives here, handles soggy spots, and attracts pollinators. I use it near my pond. Have you seen how well it bounces back after heavy rain?
