What are some long flowering ground covers - Full Sun?

Question:Looking for something colorful that will flower most of the year in full sun, prefer no taller than about 30cm. In Australia. Can get pretty dry.

Answers:
Not sure about whats available where you are, but rule of thumb is that few perenniels bloom for long periods, but many will bloom for a while and have nice foliage for a long time. The periwinkle (creeping myrtle)is one of those. leriope, ajuga.

For extended bloom season you will need to go with trailing or spreading annuals . portulaca might be a good choice, and sometimes continues. Likes full sun, heat, and doesn't mind being dry.

or vinca as mentioned (the annual type)

I like myrtle a lot (Botanical Name - Periwinkle or Vinca). Can be found almost anywhere and will work in full sun.

ajuga
