Id prefer something that will grow fast and spread fast with me just buying seeds and spreading them along my pond banks. The pond banks have just been scraped clean so there is not any grass/ weeds there at all. I do not want to have to mow grass around the pond nor do I want weeds to take over. Low growing perenial ground cover is prefered.

The area gets full sun and I am in zone 7a , USA ....right now it is hottest part of summer with temperatures around 95-100 . The pond banks are dry dirt/area , unless it rains. Ty
