If they are hardy for you - too late (early) for me to go check - I'd
say Pachysandra terminalis, Hedera helix or Vinca major would cover
that slope and hold it.  If V. major is hardy for you, it would do
the job most quickly.


Marge, I can't imagine why you aren't getting my posts; let's see if this one arrives.  

All ground covers will have the problem of weeds growing in them before they've spread sufficiently to cover the ground.  I have used both euonymous and vinca minor as ground covers and hand weeded them. However, a local nurseryman swears they will stand up to Round-Up and he's done it many times himself.  I've never quite had the nerve.
