Myoporum also spreads pretty aggressively, and will grow right out over
concrete several feet. Try Delosperma cooperi. It's a bit better behaved.

Myoporum parvifolium is pretty tough, though needs replacing after 4 or 5
years.

haven't been there or seen pix, but I assume it's sun to part shade. I'm
partial to Calif. natives but am looking for other suggestions as well. My
cousin says her son is very busy and often away, and that the other plants
in the yard get care only when she visits from DC. She'd like to plant
something when she visits next month, so it should be something readily
available in SD that has a chance of surviving if planted in midsummer.
