Ground cover for a slope(In Toronto, ON)?

Question

I have a steep slope in the backyard which is in shade. Can any one suggest a ground cover that is not too invasive? Ideally something that can be planted with seeds this year.

Answer 1

Periwinkle would do.  It is not too invasive, as long as you mow to the edge of where you want it to grow.  It has a pretty flower in the late spring, too.

I love this site for the search options. Once you know the name of what you want you can search for seeds.

Answer 3

foxgloves are pretty. there's also decorative moss, but it wouldn't spread too quickly. heather's nice. you should look into bushes maybe?

Answer 4

Japenese Spurge. (Pachysandra Terminalis)

Well drained soil.

Work in peat moss before planting.

Easy to grow.
