Well they work at least some of the time. I have some variegated Chlorophytum that is working as a ground cover now. I didn't really plan that, it just happened. It froze to the ground last winter, but then grew back from the roots. Though outside, it did get a natural mulch of oak leaves and it's against the east side of the garage. That gave it some protection. I think some winters it will get killed completely. In the meantime it looks so much better than the container that provided all the little spider plants to start it.
