Hi Jody,
I was waiting for you to post your location. I'm in zone 5b- Chicago,
and for shade area groundcover I see lots of vinca, ivy, and
wintercreeper amongst others. If you want a nice bright taller
plant/groundcover, Bishop's Weed is attractive (IMO), but is VERY
aggressive. Spreads quickly too.
Good luck.
Hello,
I'm in Zone 7, Carolina, but you might also try Ajuga. Nice purple
spears in spring, cover with leaves/straw in winter. Spreads if
fertilized. Real low ground cover, maybe in front. Also, creeping
euonymus is cool. Hope it helps,
hands in dirt,
