Hello,

I am trying to find a good groundcover for a hillside in SE
Tennessee.


How about crown vetch? You can plant it by seed, Blooms in the spring,
and is ever green. The highway department has been using it on the
slopes of over passes because it is cheap, reseeds itself and is
maintenance free. It is stunning in the spring.

Good suggestion with one exception. Vetch is -really- aggressive so it
doesn't play nice with other plants. Weed b gone will control it
in your lawn tho. Very hardy, like data said.
