| I've seen a few posts here about groundcovers for hillsides, but what I need is something fast growing to fill in quickly to prevent erosion on the hill when I kill off all the weeds. It is a very shady area, and the boss doesn't like pachysandra, so that's out. A low GC would be better than a taller one so it doesn't catch so many leaves in this wooded area, but the most important thing is that it is shade tollerant and fills in quickly. |

| Hi, If the area is moist, I would go with either Sweet woodruff (very pretty) or Lamium, dead nettle. They both spread fairly quickly and look great all season. If it's drier you could try Vinca. Jen |

| Thanks for the info TJ. I like the look of both of those, but I haven't found a place that carries either one yet. |

| Usually you can find one or both at your local greenhouse/nurseries, or Lowes, places like that. It's kinda late in the season now to find much. Good luck! Jen |
