ground cover for dry shade

Cyclamen hederifolium -- excellent dry shade groundcover September to April, but vanishes for much of spring & all of summer.

The best dry shade evergreen groundcover remains English ivy, & if you select a half-dozen miniature-leaf & tiny variegated forms, these can provide a wonderfully varied texture without being invasive like regular ivy.

Variegated Vinca major also does swell in dry shade.

Hi Guys

Can someone suggest a ground cover for dry shade in zone 6( The texas Panhandle). The area I want to plant is mainly in total shade thanks to 3 chinese elm trees and a fence. Part of the area does get about 2-3 hours of early sun and dappled shade through the rest of the day. The soil here is alkaline and heavy clay ( wonderful gardening conditions!!) . Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated

Many Thanks

Sarah
