[quote=Anonymous]OP, early fall is a good time to plant, but you do have to keep up with the watering, because early fall tends to be dry here. Spring is also a good time to plant. I happen not to like pachysandra, and as the PP says, it's invasive, and it doesn't do much for the wildlife (bugs, birds, bees, butterflies, etc.) If you do like pachysandra, maybe consider Allegheny spurge (Pachysandra procumbens). Other plants to consider are wild ginger (Asarum canadense), hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula), white wood aster (Eurybia divaricate), Golden ragwort (Senecio aureus), and heart-leaved aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium). Of these plants, the wild ginger will probably spread the slowest. Here's a good reference: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring/infosheets/groundcover.pdf[/quote]
