Makes a flat, very drought tolerant ground cover and good lawn replacement in dry zones. Takes medium foot traffic and often called living cement. Safe and non-toxic for dogs and pets. Works well as a filler between flagstone, pavers, or stepping stones and other confined areas. Soil retention: Excellent for erosion control on slopes an hills due to the large diameter and deep root system.[5][6]
