Well I was attempting to spruce up my roof with some plants so I rezzed some of the "Leafy Ground Cover" found in the library. The first time that it didn't rez I thought I had not put it on the ground so I tried it again, still nothing. I then checked my prim count and saw that they were indeed there and taking up prims. I tried zooming around through the floor to see if I could find them, no such luck though, and ctrl-alt-t did no good either. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? I'm getting close to my prim limit and would rather not waste what I could be using. Thanks all, hope you can help me out :(

Groundcover only goes onto ground. That's where you'll find it.

Yep, and if you above linden water you'll find it at the bottom :)

I've rezzed a groundcover to cover a prim skyplatform and it worked fine. It was a texture, not a Linden item, but definitely used primarily as a groundcover. Is that the reason it worked?

Yeah, the textures are completely different from objects. You don't have to worry about losing textures when you apply them, not so true when it comes to objects unfortunately :(
I've still looked around and STILL nada. This is irritating, can't find any other help sources either. *Cries* Evil, evil plants.

Try removing the surface patch.

Try removing the surface patch.
Client (or Advanced) / Rendering / Types / uncheck "Surface Patch"

It'll hide the land mesh... if the land is uneven it's possible they rezzed underneath it. If there are prims on the land, it's possible they're in/under the prims.
