Groundcovers for Sunny Slopes with Foot Traffic

Finding groundcovers for a 200-foot-wide, 5-foot-deep sunny slope with foot traffic requires spreading, care-free plants.

Recommended Groundcovers

Dwarf abelia
Forsythia
Creeping raspberry
Winter jasmine
Asiatic jasmine
Chrysoganum 'Eco Lacquered Spider' ("Green n Gold")
Groundcover strawberry
Carolina jessamine
Creeping juniper
Ornamental grasses (hardy fountain grass, maidengrass, Northern sea oats)
Spreading monkey grass (Liriope spicata)

Critical Success Factors

NO plant thrives on eroded clay. All above require generous pockets of loamy soil at planting.
