If it is a ground cover you are in the market for then this evergreen English Ivy will be an excellent choice. Why? Well, it grows quickly, spreads rapidly, does great in shady areas but will grow in sunny spots, and the birds help spread the seeds! Its glossy dark green leaves grow 6-8 inches tall giving it depth as well as coverage. What do you do? You direct it to where you want it to serve its purpose. (You may read that as "where you can't mow".)
