I have a somewhat steep bank (maybe 60 deg) that currently has grass and assorted weeds growing on it. I trim it with my grass mowing and it looks fine. However, I'd rather it look a little better than fine and I would rather it was less maintenance. I'm in PA so zone 5. Since it faces NW, I'm not sure it gets the full sun that most groundcovers seem to require. I'd also prefer it to be able to handle light foot traffic as I sometimes traverse the bank so nothing that is too terribly delicate or grows too high.
My neighbor with the same kind of bank has a patchwork of creeping juniper that looks like crap, probably because he doesn't weed it at all.
Recommendations that I've gotten so far:
- creeping juniper...
- wintercreeper
- cotoneaster
Anyone have any recommendations or comments? I'm not sure if this is more of a gardening question but I figured I'd give you guys a try.
