Colorful Groundcover Recommendations
Q: What colorful groundcover could I put next to the side foundation of my house? It only gets two hours of sunlight each day. It is on a bit of slope.
A: One of the large varieties of monkey grass would look nice. Liriope muscari ‘Monroe White’ is the gold standard by which all white-flowered liriope are judged. Unlike most liriope, which thrive in sun, this cultivar needs light shade for most of the day to prevent foliar scorch. I am tempted to try to find a shrub for you but with that small amount of sunshine, most will simply decline in a few years.
