Damp patch
Hi,
I have a damp shaded patch (bit of sun in summer) where grass has given up. Thought I might dig up the remains of the turf & weeds and "plant something". Any suggestions? I am in Sydney area. |

Native violets (Viola hederacea) do quite well in a damp, shady spot: they look like little white fairies with purple aprons! ;-D If you want something a bit more exotic, look for _Selaginella_. It's one of the spike mosses and is a living fossil (hence my interest in it). It has very light spring green 'foliage' and will cover a damp area nicely when lawn has turned up its toes. -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |
