I am reposting this because I had the wrong species name.
It seems I need to make a comment. Back in February of 2022 my Lawn Care Guy killed my entire lawn when he sprayed it with god knows what. The entire lawn died in 3 days. At that time I had it with trying to keep grass and I was equally tired of pushing a lawn mower. So I tore it all out and replanted it in May of that year. The Mimosa pudica has worked out great as a ground cover. It does allow some weeds to grow through the tight root system but due diligence and pulling keeps it in check.
