I wanted my landscaping project (see:
The thread "2 questions: Weed with purple petals, what is it? How to get rid of Holly?" in
Ask a Question forum) to be mostly "green" in the literal sense. I pictured a lush evergreen carpet that could take light or moderate traffic (just 2 of us here, my wife and I), be it moss or some other kind of ground cover. My first choice was Irish Moss, but it specifically says it's not good in shade. On the recommendation of a gardener at a local nursery (Molbaks) I bought some "Alpine Creeper", aka Kelsey Blue or Blue Star Creeper.
But after seeing this web posting
http://tinyurl.com/o8wk4jj I'm wondering if I made the right choice. I'm also confused about the various Latin as well as common names for this plant. The link uses different Latin names than what's on the plant tag, but it looks and sounds like the same thing I got.
I can still use these in another area on our property, but it would take some time away from working on this particular project, or, thanks to ATP, I could try to sell or trade this stuff. I bought 12 containers of it (they were on sale). Pics below are of the tag from one of the containers, and the area I'm working on, taken at 9am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 5:30pm to show the size of the area (about 20ft by 40ft) and how much sunlight reaches this place on a sunny day. Most it gets is around noon-2pm
