{dirt 60631} Dry Shade Under a Maple Tree?



If you have a maple tree in your garden, then you know how difficult it is to grow grass much less anything else at the base of the tree.  A maple tree's roots are thirsty and grow out across the top surface of the soil.  Well, I have finally found a ground cover that grows well in the dry shade under the 50+ year old maple that creates the shade for my Shade Garden.  Pachysandra terminalis has managed to grow and thrive in this spot.  Not to mention the blossoms in early Spring have the most amazing fragrance.  Happy Gardening!
