The best I have found is "mazus reptans". It is a dense low growth ground
cover (2 inches high - max) that thrives in damp shady areas.

Good luck.

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?

Epididymus, heuchera, dwarf astilbe, lily of the valley, jack in
the pulpit. On the whole, I'd be careful with the ivy; it isn't
a good match with trees or structures.
