Well I heard that ivy puts down really deep roots and is good
for erosion control on slopes, and we have slopes and a long
embankment in our yard and really need that.

I was also reading something about english ivy being
"evergreen in zones 5 up, but that doesn't make sense, I've
never seen it green in the winter here in Denver.

Vinca minor is another quick-spreading possibility that is
readily available just about anywhere. Is this a shady
location? Ivy and vinca do well in shade. If you've got more
sun, creeping phlox will fill in nicely and does well on
slopes.


Thanks, I'll check into this.
