Hey all,

I have a tough one (maybe not). I'm looking for suggestions for a shade tolerant ground cover to cover a large, low laying (read "moist") area that boarders a stream. I would prefer one that will stop when it sees too much sun so I can have a lawn leading up to the area. It's a bit too large to boarder off with some hardscaping & I do want the area to look somewhat natural as opposed to a formal garden. I live in the Atlanta GA area which I think is zone 7.

Thanks!

The wet part of shady is tough. I found some for you, though:

Hope this helps.
