Favorite Shade Ground cover

Hi All

No one has mentioned Epimediums.  There are many that have been in the trade for a while and many new hybrids from England and Japan.  And now with trips to China many new species are slowly working their way into this country. 

Some are evergreen and some are deciduous, they form slow creeping clumps. Without being invasive, they can cover a woodland floor with a wonderful carpet.  In the spring short sprays of star-like flowers appear in various colors.  They like fertile soil and often tolerate drier conditions, most are hardy to Z-5.
