| Description | An excellent deer resistant groundcover for small shady areas. This improved selection has attractive evergreen stems with extra-glossy, bright green leaves. Tiny white flowers begin to appear in the spring. Spreads to form a dense carpet. Perfect for mass plantings under large trees in a shade to dappled sunlight setting. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Spring and early summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Easy Care |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Growth Habit | Spreading |
| Flower Attributes | Repeat Flowering |
| Landscape Use | Border, Ground Cover |
| Design Ideas | This has long been the most reliable cool-season groundcover for shade. Perfect for planting under the canopies of older trees, where little else grows. A lifesaver on the north sides of walls or north-facing slopes, and between tall multistory buildings. Works very nicely in the front of shaded borders or as filler between larger shrubs. Dense enough to keep down weeds, it is a great solution for dark parts of the garden, where other herbaceous plants fear to tread. |
| Flower Color | White |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Brunnera (Brunnera); Hosta (Hosta); Carpet Bugle (Ajuga); Lungwort (Pulmonaria); Periwinkle (Vinca); Bleeding Heart (Dicentra); |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in rich, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Prefers cool, shaded settings. Water regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, prefers evenly moist soil, but tolerates light dry spells. Space 2 to 3 ft. apart as groundcover; closer for faster coverage. Control weeds with mulch until plants fill in. |
