High desert ground cover #873929

Asked June 20, 2024, 1:27 PM EDT

Hello, I’m in Redmond and am looking for a good ground cover to pair with lavender, peonies, and lily in my flower beds. I’ve got vines and weeds that are trying to choke everything else out and am looking for something to move them out. Any suggestions? Thanks!
