Has anybody tried Scorpiurus muricatus as groundcover? It’s in bloom here in Halkidiki right now, and besides having shiny, green mat-forming leaves, the tiny flowers are really stunning if you look at them closely.
I read that: ‘This is mainly a garden plant used as a groundcover. Its densely haired pods may be added to salads for interest, but are rarely eaten.’ (Wikipedia). I haven't tried that as a salad yet, maybe I will.
