This is the ultimate problem-solver for those dark, neglected corners of the garden where nothing else seems to grow. Its luminous, silver-gray foliage brightens up dry shade effortlessly, though you’ll have to accept its modest, creeping pace rather than expecting an overnight groundcover miracle.
