Hi all I am looking for a native ground cover to plant above a blue stone retaining wall in a heavy shaded area. Would like something that will spill over the wall. Any ideas????

| If it is heavy shade, you might be better off planting ferns. There are many very nice native ferns available. Intersperse with viola hederacea. If you get sun at some time in the day, you could try something like pandorea. This is actually a climber, but should be OK trailing along the wall. Otherwise you could try hibbertia, which will be OK in light shade, but will need some sun in order to flower. Don't worry too much about winter shade. So long as you get part sun in spring, you can plant almost any forest species. |
