What is the best flowering ground cover to use in partial shade and total shade.
"Vinca is a commonly used groundcover that has blue flowers. Epimedium is not as well known; this is a great addition to the shade landscape with its delicate white, pink, purple, or yellow flowers and heart shaped leaves. Although they are not groundcovers, hellebores are another excellent choice for shade, as are astilbe, hosta, thalictrum, and ferns."
What can I do around trees to make it easier to mow. I have about 20 trees and bushes to mow around.
"A very simple solution is to regularly spray a herbicide around the trees, taking care to avoid any overspray. Also, do not spray on a hot day; some sprays become volatile and the vapors drift up into the tree causing damage. The next solution would be to place mulch around each tree; this is what many people choose to do. For a lower maintenance option, try landscaping under the trees with groundcover such as epimedium, liriope, pachysandra, or vinca. We do not recommend English ivy due to its invasive and destructive nature. Hellebores are an underused perennial that thrives in shade, tolerating dry conditions even though it prefers moist soil."
