Hieracium aurantiacum

The Hieracium aurantiacum is a small perennial ground cover, very stoloniferous and capable of growing on dry, rocky slopes in full sun.

The orange hawkweed (its common name) forms rosettes of evergreen, spatulate leaves, of a lovely bright green that carpet the ground. The small, but numerous red-orange flowers have a coppery yellow heart followed by light seeds similar to those of dandelions.

It thrives in the sun, in any well-draining soil. You could plant it along a gravel-covered rocky path, leave for 3 years, come back, and you no longer have a path!
