I had planned to use dwarf mondo grass, as it has done well in other areas of my yard. I thought the mondo would look great offsetting the harshness of the stone. Unfortunately, the mondo grass idea hasn't worked out. I tried it twice and it doesn't overwinter in this location. It has overwintered fine in other locations in my yard. So I presume it is due to poor drainage in the walkway. Does anyone have any other suggestions of a shade-tolerant really low-growing ground cover which might fill the crevices between stones? Here's a shot of the walkway. Alas, no sign of the prior mondo grass remains... |
