Mrs D,

Can vinca tolerate full sun?

Vinca - or a similar trailing groundcover - might be just the thing for a sloping area (designed as a ramp for my wobbly oldie ) where I just cannot get grass to grow.
Meloncollie,
Full sun should not be a problem though Immergrun does well in the shade. My neighbour has Immergrun on a slope in his garden that is south facing so plenty of sun and it is really nice. It has taken him a few years to get it really dense. I think you could try it for your dog, depending on how steep the slope is. Our dogs seem to do fine on ours though it is not nearly dense enough. I am going to take a few cuttings and put them in water. Three weeks later they will have roots and I can plant them. (at least that is what I have been told).

Why have you not been able to grow grass? Grass is a better ground grabber...the problem on a slope is cutting it.

I have my work cut out for me this Spring...sounds like you do too.
