My favorite invasive groundcover is vinca minor, AKA periwinkle. It thrives
in part sun to shade, has lovely purple flowers in the spring (they look
especially nice around the daffodils that can grow along with them), and
stay green all winter under the snow. It can suffer some winter dieback,
but return with vigor. It seems to be fairly drought-tolerant. Periwinkle,
lamium, and sedums are the most successful groundcovers here; pachysandra
doesn't stand a chance.
