Hurray for Hardy Yellow Ice Plant.
Delosperma nubigenum forms a low maintenance, evergreen mat. The succulent foliage is reddish in winter, spring green the rest of the year with bright yellow daisy-like blooms in early summer. I think it's easier to keep weed free than some of the creeping thymes.
This is one example of the many creeping veronica available. Veronica surculosa 'Waterperry Blue' has shiny evergreen foliage that turns reddish bronze in winter. Durable and drought tolerant, it sports large sky blue flowers in mid spring.
Colorado State has a very comprehensive chart of good drought tolerant groundcover choices. including Veronica pectinata or Woolly Speedwell that blends nicely with our native look plant choices.
