It's not a very good ground cover actually nor evergreen, plus, it may get a bit out of control on you. Many types of sedum are evergreen and hardy and can give a great show of yellow flowers in spring as does Creeping Jenny, Lysemachia Aurea is a good one.

I would consider just what kind of fallen leaves or needles I would have to be cleaning out of beds before chossing a ground cover. Some hold leaves while others are easier to clean out.

Control issues are not really a problem.

Leaves are an issue thoguh. I have 3 acres and numerous Red Oaks, White Oaks, Poplars, Dogwoods, etc. My driveway acts like a wind tunnel when the fall winds pick up.

Perhaps I'll scratch the Virginia Creeper idea.

The Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia Aurea) is just about perfect. I love the bright color. Any recommendation where I can get this for the best price?

thanks,

You still get leaf drop on evergreen plants only you don't have a dormancy period.

I think va creeper is a neat vine. I don't know that I would order seeds since you can find plenty of it to dig up around on fences and stuff. Wear gloves though. Even though it's not like poison ivy some people can get itchy if you come in contact with it.
