Ground cover - shady slopes
Slopes in shady areas of the garden can be challenging. Not only awkward to access, the soil is often poor due to erosion and prone to drying out. Planting evergreen shade-loving ground cover will help maintain soil stability and minimise erosion. Choose easy to care for plants which will thrive in the shade.
