The best dry shade evergreen groundcover remains English ivy, & if you select a half-dozen miniature-leaf & tiny variegated forms, these can provide a wonderfully varied texture without being invasive like regular ivy. Variegated Vinca major also does swell in dry shade. -paghat the ratgirl -- Get your Paghat the Ratgirl T-Shirt he http://www.paghat.com/giftshop.html "History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government." -Thomas Jefferson |
ground cover for dry shade
Hi Guys
Can someone suggest a ground cover for dry shade in zone 6( The texas Panhandle). The area I want to plant is mainly in total shade thanks to 3 chinese elm trees and a fence. Part of the area does get about 2-3 hours of early sun and dappled shade through the rest of the day. The soil here is alkaline and heavy clay ( wonderful gardening conditions!!) . Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated Many Thanks Sarah |
