I take it you're somewhere with no actual winter. Bulbs are okay but a lot of the flowers that come from bulbed plants bloom only in early spring and then they're done the rest of the year. Not all, but a fair amount.

If you've got bare ground and don't want to seed a lawn, I'd suggest looking into native wild plants. Not all of them are drought resistant (sadly) but native plants to your state and specifically your region are accustomed to growing in that area, through good times and bad. They also have the added bonus of basically not having to care for them once they get established - they're meant to grow there, so they'll seed and propagate without a lot of work on your part.

A secondary option would be some kind of ground cover plant that propagates by runners or rhizomes, creepers basically, but the downside of those is that they can get out of control very easily. I'm currently waging a five-year battle against the four varieties of lamium the previous owners of our house allowed to take over the lawn.

AYRT—yeah, definitely no actual winter here; we might hit freezing for part of one or two nights in an exceptionally cold year. The last time it snowed here my dad was a toddler. I do have native stuff going, but aside from a few trees—I have a native (winter deciduous) walnut and evergreen oak—most of it is summer deciduous, or just looks ragged and shitty all summer.

I have neigbors with native-only yards and they look like shit right now. Most of the good looking xeriscaped yards here use cactus and/or South African and Australian plants, and even they need water to not shrivel up until it rains. Palm trees do okay once established, but I don’t much like them. Oddly, my mango is going gangbusters and fruiting with zero supplemental water, so maybe I should be looking into stuff that thrives in the drier parts of India.

As for ground covers, I can’t think of any that would be invasive without water except some kinds of weedy grass. Sorry about your lamium invasion! I would send you my Asparagus setaceus to battle it for supremacy, but the winner might eat the world.
