What about Stiletto? Seems to be really fast growing and quite sun-tolerant.
Can't show you mine 'cause it's still sleeping under snow )

p.s. moccasinlanding, love your Purple Lady Fingers

reality check.. they are still under a foot of snow ...

My 'Ginko Craig' grows like gangbusters and is a great ground cover! So does 'Golden Scepter' grow vigorously. Here's GC...pic taken last year.

I'm in denial so you'll have to please forgive me for posting non-current growth...I think it's great that some of you "early birds" are sharing your progress - it will carry me and a few others for a couple weeks more....as we continue to wait it out. :-)

Michigan reality or Alabama reality? Both realities exist; in Michigan, hostas are under snow...in Alabama, hostas are under palm and banana trees. : )

I still have "ground cover" snow, but soon will see what the voles did. Bernd

Bernd, hope vole damage is minimal. That would be insult added to injury after such a hellacious winter. We have dieback on bananas and sago palms, and the elephant ears, but last cold winter new growth rose like a phoenix from the ashes.

Not my picture but have ordered this one .Glenn stated it spreads fast for ground cover and to plant in an area you want ground cover like under or around a tree. Looks nice from the picture
