Some Grass Alternatives That I Like

A List

W.I.P.

White Clover

Full sun, full enthusiasm nitrogen fixer. Clover is probably already round you. Spreads great. Low grower.

Bee Balm

Native. Unique flowers, culinary herb, and overall delight. Spreads well. Mid to high height, depending on variety.

Obedient Plant

Native. Spreads great! Really fills in the space. Mid height.

Yarrow

Native. Frilly, fun, medicinal powerhouse. Low to mid height.

Strawberry

Three season plant! Edible berries! Could be native! Tiny jumping vine.

Common Violet

Native. Salad greens with edible flowers, too. Tiny to low height. Fills in spots left by the rest of them well.
