[Lapg] need a plant name

[John Valenzuela]

Hello Lance, from the great Northern Lands, 

I am fond of Lotus purshianus for a tough, pioneering leguminous ground cover, for bare disturbed soil. See:

Hi there, I'm a permaculture designer in Ontario Canada, and was posed a question by someone in your neck of the woods.  He needs a good deep rooted ground cover that prevents erosion, is drought resistant, with grow in sandy/rocky soils and is low to the ground as fire is a concern.  Do you have a plant or two I could pass along to him that is a good ground cover in this instance? Thanks! Lance Meredith Ontario Permaculture Guild
