Ajuga is nice, it's hardy, and grows very quickly. It puts out stalks of really pretty blue-purple flowers in Spring. Very nice.

Ivy grows very fast and holds slopes back from slipping but it becomes a literal jungle attracting rats and insects because of its depth and shade. Freeway daisys are fast growing and provide big white or purple flowers that are hardy and attractive. I personally like red apple because it has a tight low growing succulent type leaf and a beautiful brilliant fuschia flower. If you have yellow jackets in your neighborhood beware though, they like to make nests in the ground under ground cover so you will need to hang those yellow jacket traps on your trees to keep their populations down. Also it depends on what part of the country you live in. You can go to Scotts web site and they will give you all sorts of suggestions for your yard and garden depending on what climate zone you live in.

Slow it down na! The fastest growing greenery is the Hibiscus snowy thorn less rosenweed which can be found only near Jacumba, California. Why don't you put in a pool and a Tiki bar and invite us over for a cold one?

Depends on your Zone, where you need the ground cover, ie shady or not... more info would give you better answers.
But, if you're not into the green look, I suggest a blue tarp.

You have to remember too that you don't want to create a problem for yourself later, if you plant a "weedy" groundcover. If you are talking about a big area, on a hillside let's say, crownvetch grows pretty fast.
