I remember researching it when looking at groundcovers for half-shade
but as I recall, it wants moist soil. Don't see why it wouldn't work as
long as you've got that. 
I ended up with creeping thyme which is doing okay in some spots and not
okay in others, some of it gets too much shade so I don't think would be
suitable for under a big tree. And it isn't a neat little filler between
the stones, it spreads out, your mint may do the same.

No, I wanted something low and flat that will grow around the stepping
stones and such.  Filler stuff.  Monkey grass would be too tall for
what I want. But thank you for the offer Pam.
