I am trying to find a good low growing (3-6 inches) and tidy ground cover
for semi shade that will allow the interplanting of spring and summer
flowering bulbs such as crocus and acidantherae.

Might anyone have some suggestions?

many thanks

I had Ajuga Reptans in my last garden, in the shady areas, with dark
purple leaves and vivid blue flower for a short season. Stuff used to
come up through it ok.
