OK. But you've been warned about how readily it spreads... and about its color! It's not slowed down much by light shade, either. One of the areas it's "escaped" to is 3 feet out from the north side of the house.
That said, it's a really good groundcover, although I doubt it would tolerate regular foot traffic.
Would vinca be a better color for the area you have in mind? My Vinca minor went crazy in the front bed last year, and I need to knock it back. It's been well behaved for years, a little here and there, but last summer and I guess the previous winter it turned into a mass, thick enough that it's obscuring . I was considering applying round-up. I can't offer to pull it, but you'd be welcome to come by and hoe up as much as you'd like. Or for $20, I can put my garden helper to work for an hour, and she'll be able to pull up a remarkable amount. It is Vinca minor, not Vinca major.
