Default Favorite ground cover for shade


"Kim" wrote in message
a.net...
I live in Ohio and have several shaded areas where I would like to put
in ground cover and I just wanted to make sure I've thought of them all.
So far I have English Ivy and Periwinkle. The ivy is great, and the
periwinkle is beautiful, but it is very prone to fungus from moisture -
and the shade doesn't help dry up that!

So what are your suggestions?

I just planted some creeping thyme based on recommendations I've read here
and other places. It might be something for you to consider. I also planted
periwinkle, but haven't had the fungus problem you mention since I live in a
very dry area.
