Ground Cover

Question

Salutations, I am looking for a low ground cover that may have to endure infrequent foot traffic and will grow in shade and partial shade in clay soil. An invasive species would not be favored by my neighbors. The area that I am looking at is approximately 25 by 30 ft. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Answer 1

Ajuga would work well, though it is slow growing. These articles should help:
