I am a very non-gardener. But, I need a groundcover to cover an area
about 400sq ft. I live in eastern PA. the area is a somewhat sloped
and is partial shade. I want something inexpensive that grows,
spreads quickly. OK if it is invasive. I want it to choke out
weeds. prefer something that is not too high, say 6" or so. Also,
is it too late to plant it now (mid Oct)?
thanks
Euphorbia cyparissias Cypress Spurge - does well here in NH. Does
reseed
some and doesn't seem mind sun or shade. Mine is one a hill.

Do deer mess with it, or don't you have those monsters in your
neighborhood?
Don't touch it. In fact nothing seems to touch it. Want some?
I might. First, I need to do a bit of research about how much dryness and
acidity it'll put up with. I'm looking for something to grow under a pine
tree, a miserable environment. It can rain for 3 days straight and under
that tree, it'll still be just damp.
