Fill Patchy Grass Spots In Your Lawn
With A Low-Maintenance Ground Cover
By BRI MYRICK
If you are struggling with patchy grass spots in your lawn, consider replacing these barren areas with a low-maintenance ground cover like Angelina stonecrop (Sedum rupestre).
It is an ideal alternative to traditional grass, thriving in USDA zones 5 through 9, even during winter. One mature plant can fill 1 to 2 feet of patchy grass spots in your lawn.
This ground cover boasts yellow and green leaves in the summer that turn a striking red-orange
in winter and produces yellow star-like flowers that attract bees and butterflies.

The plant is drought-tolerant and needs minimal water and fertilizer once established. It is also resistant to pests like rabbits and deer, making it a robust option for any lawn.
To grow Angelina stonecrop, start seeds indoors in a pot and wait until it warms up outside, or plant them directly in the ground once temperatures exceed 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
