Oh, I forgot to mension the False Strawberry (Duchesnea indica) that I thought would be a nice ground cover... Oh my! From a sprinkle of seeds.... a wave that's sweeping rapidly over everything... sun to full shade, runner after runner in a tangled mess climbing over and swallowing everything in it's path... I mistakenly thought since it came from zone 6 it would have a hard time here... it was happy healthy all the way up to snowfall, cold did not bother it a bit. In spring I'm going to get down on my knees and try to remove every bit... if it sets fruit it will take over every yard in the area (birds and chipmunks will spread it).
