Can anyone suggest a quick-growing, flowering, ground cover plant ( Not
seeds as there's quite a few cats around here and they LOVE my soil.). My
garden is north-facing, backs onto an old railway bank with dark blue-grey
clay soil (although I've added a few trailers of topsoil to help). The slope
if fairly steep approx a 1 in 3 incline and 20 ft by 11ft in size, and
there's a sycamore tree to one side shading half the garden.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.


The white-flowered form of Oxalis oregana. (The pink-flowered form has
bigger, better flowers, but isn't as vigorous.)

Thanks in anticipation


You'll retract those thanks once this thug of thugs takes the bit in
its teeth and covers the ground beneath a green tide.
