A highlight of this landscape is the blend of Kinnikinnik and beach strawberry. Very drought tolerant once established, this combination will help suppress weeds. Be sure to keep the area well weeded until the plants are established. It is difficult to weed through groundcovers. Beach strawberry spreads aggressively so be sure it has room to run before you turn it loose. The combination of thrift and nodding onion can also be planted in clusters or blended together.
