Just read the list properly and seen Vinca (Major and Minor).

I can confirm it grows well in this location; in fact I don't think the
clearasnce has fully eradicated this so it will be an ongoing battle.

We've been clearing masses of it out of our garden, too. It does the
job but you do need to get your foot on its neck and keep it there.
My aim is for something less invasive, and with a higher flower to leaf
ratio :-)

I absolutely love Tellima and its delicate scent. And violets are
wonderful. Years ago, I had one called Viola labradorica and I seem to
remember that being fairly quickly to cover the ground. We have a
Lamium here which has a variegated leaf and bright pink flowers (sorry,
can't remember the name just now and that's not too invasive at all.
We have a mass of comfrey here and there, too but again that might be
too 'bossy' for you. Would Geranium palmatum 'do' in your area?

Geranium is top of our list.

Violets sound very nice too.

Comfrey is making its presence felt around the garden already - again the
leaf to flower ratio is not favourable.

Thanks
