Default Best groundcover for Active DogS

Thanks Kristen

We have some lamium in the shady side gardens, & it has held up to repeated
tromping very well

I found some pictures of Campanula punctata, that looks like it would work
well. The beds will be shaded by the board on board fence early in the day,
& will get a good amount of midday & afternoon sun. Could be a winner, but
of coarse I need to run it by my resident control committee (wife).

How about Lamium? It's a spreader so you'd have to keep it in check. I

love
my patch of lamium and it does well sun or shade. I also have an area with
Campanula punctata, another spreader that needs to be kept in place and is
awesome if it gets good sun. Big beautiful bells over a long period in
summer. I think both could take some dog damage and heal up pretty

quickly.
