I am very impressed in your organizational skills! I absolutely love how you categorized everything, and then (very simply) gave me the info for each category &/plant. This is exactly the layout of an article that makes it easy for a researcher to read. Thank you for your work! I now have a much clearer idea of what options I have. I wish all the best to you 🙂

I was hoping to see your opinion on Peanut Grass. I’m looking for a perennial evergreen groundcover to fill my full sun 100’x30′ slope of a backyard.

In reply to Dianne.

Any of these discussed in the article would work.

I live in TN, and have landscaped my back yard hill with a variety of shrubs. To help with erosion, and the cost of mulching every year, I am looking for a ground cover to use between the shrubs. Mostly sunny locations. Do you have any recommendations?

THANK YOU FOR THE BROAD, INFORMATIVE OVERVIEW: PARTICULARLY WITH REFERENCE TO DEER RESISTANT GROUND COVER. THEY DON’T TOUCH SEDUM OR PACHYSANDRA. YOU COULD MENTION THE LOVELY WHITE EDGED PACHY.

Hi Karin – Unfortunately, from your description, I’m not sure what it is. I think taking it to a nursery for ID is a great idea!

I have an evergreen whose name I have forgotten. I will try to describe it…tough dark green short needles which grow along a “stem” (which can get quite long). It seems to be a spreader and grows outward, not upward. I just wonder if this rings a bell. If not I will snip some and take it to a nursery.
Thanks’
Karin in Iowa!

In reply to Marie Guarino.

Hi Marie –
I don’t include zone numbers in my articles here because we have readers from around the world and most countries have their own hardiness maps and don’t use the US zone map. Instead, I include the lowest temperature a plant will tolerate to specify its winter hardiness. For warm climates like yours, a bit of extra research is required to determine the heat tolerance of plants since it’s difficult to include that information in every article and with every plant.

I live in Las Vegas/Henderson NV area. Article helpful, but please always use Zone numbers. We are 9A-9B. Awfully hard to keep flowers but am trying several groundcovers with blooms. Thank you.
