I have so far had good luck with several Aloinopsis species, as well as Bergeranthus. Anyone else been giving this a go?

You have an Aloinopsis that can survive the winter? Wow. I can't get one to live a month even in a pot in a protected area outdoors... There are Bergeranthus being used as ground cover at the Huntington. Delospermas can make great (sometimes 'too great') ground covers. I have one that I am having to constantly yank up now as it swarms over everything. So careful with some of those.
