looking for perennial shrubs or ground cover to plant under cypress tree in clay soil covered with fresh loam dirt that will also show in the wintertime too. Hosta does not work. Iris does but I don't want bulbs. Coreopsis works good and flowers all summer long but i want something so show in the wintertime too for it looks bare. This cypress tree is in the center of my rotary where my driveway goes around it. There is grass around the tree. It gets very dry in the summer & when it rains it doesn't get underneath the tree too well so i have to use my sprinkler. Hope someone can help me in New England!
