Winter wind, full sun, and poor soil drainage can be problems. Some groundcovers may become too aggressive and get out of bounds quickly. Both are good choices for places few other plants grow well, but may invade other areas. Purple Wintercreeper Euonymus , Euonymus fortunei 'Colorata', is another good groundcover that roots as it creeps along the ground. Plant in the shade and provide protection in winter for leaves to remain on plant.
White flowers appear in late spring.
