Not that I ask a lot of a plant...
We moved to the area about 2-3 years ago. I'm originally from the southwestern US and the plants I grew up with are not the same that grow and thrive here. No huge shocker! Must be that whole lack of desert thing...
Anyhow, we just had our backyard cleared of underbrush and I have a slope that I'd like to plant a ground cover on. I don't want to have to re-plant year after year, and I prefer some color/flowers, but its in dappled sunlight now, which will get more shady as the leaves come in.
Is there a plant that anyone can think of that would thrive under these conditions in this area??
Thanks!!

It's also called periwinkle. I've got tons of it at my old house. It grows well under trees, it's rather non-invasive, durable as hell, flowers almost continually, and you can mow it.
