goundcover
Hi all.
I hope you're having as much fun gardening as I am! I laid in a new garden, this time one large enough to include several trees. Nice for something different. I think it will take several years to fill this one. Anyway, I have a problem area I need help with. We have an area (about 10x30), under trees, that stays damp. It's in a natural area but I don't want to cover the dampness with mulch. Oftentimes, out here in the "country," many groundcovers (pachysandra, periwinkle) seem snake-y. I tried some of the plants (forgot the name) with heartshaped, red rimmed leaves, white flowers and spreads like wildfire; I like it but it's too tall. Any ideas? As always, thanks in advance.

There are several varieties of ajuga that would work well without the
"snake-y" look. Chrysogonum may also be a good choice. -- Baine "Raleighgirl" wrote in message . com... Hi all. I hope you're having as much fun gardening as I am!

It should perform well. It's very easy to establish.
