Ajuga, periwinkle or ferns

English Ivy

Hello Vicky; There are several plants which you can use.

Wandering Jew will spread fast and stays green year round, as does Ivy, and also Ferns.

On a personal note, I planted three small pieces of fern close to a dock that I own. That fern has now spread so much that I am trying to give some away!!!

I hope that this will help you!!!! Take Care!

Try Sedum Acre it grows every place just better in the sun

what is your location? There is no way to answer your question if that is not given

Hello Vicky; The fern is one that I rooted from a Bouquet of flowers that I received years ago.

It is called: Leatherwood fern.

I hope that this helps you!!!! Good Luck, with your yard!! Take Care!
