Re: Great Ground Covers for Shade

Kitty,
Think we are into semantics now....
Cytoperis bulbifera was recommended as a groundcover for the way it flows and forms colonies. It does need room or, larger plants to exist between. In the right space it is a good asset to the garden. I placed mind at the top of a rock ledge and let it flow downward like a flow of water.... it and a mini ivy called Webfoot now cover the railroad ties used to hold the hill back from washing out.

Tidy? I don't get TAG anymore, but I thought Gene said years ago that it
was quite the colonizer. Mine sure was.

When I came inside for a break, I decided to look at the new American
Gardener magazine that just arrived.  I was reading an article entitled
"Great Ground Covers for Shade" and I had a feeling that I recognized the
author.  I flipped the page back, and, lo and behold, it was written by

our
own Gene Bush! Nice job Gene! I think I'd like some of that tidy bladder
fern, Cytoperis bulbifera. I just got some dwarf Solomon's seal this
year.
