A New Jersey gardener needs a fast-spreading, low (under 8 inches) ground cover for a sunny, dry bed around viburnum carlesi. Pachysandra fails in full sun. Preferences: long bloom period, fragrance, and drought tolerance.
Convallaria majalis (lily of the valley) tolerates partial sun, spreads steadily, and produces intensely fragrant white bells in spring. It pairs beautifully with white iris, hostas, or Solomon's seal (Polygonatum) for a layered, woodland-edge look in sunnier spots.
Other sun-tolerant spreaders to consider: creeping thyme, sedum 'Angelina', or dwarf catmint (Nepeta 'Walker's Low').
