Re : Ground Cover for Dry Shade

Title: Re : Ground Cover for Dry Shade
Hi Lynn,
I worked a lot on the subject since I'm gardening in a woodland, and I found some nice perennials , biennals and annuals.
-tolmiea menziesii 'Taffes Gold' : evergreen here, nice variegated leaves
-euphorbia robbiae
- vinca major hirsuta : flower much more elegant than the ordinary periwinkle and deep violet
- millium effusum 'aureum' : evergreen perennial grass (I made a mistake in my last posting when I said it is annual, it's because it self-seeds readily)
Surely I forgot some but they are the first ones coming in my mind. Don't expect to get lot of flowers but you'll get nice foliage effects.

Hi again,
I need recommendations for a ground cover for dry shade. We built two
new beds over the weekend, one of which is next to the driveway and slopes
downward towards the street. It will be a hard place to water and needs to
be tough. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Lynn
