Hi Guys,

I am seeking a short ground cover that can grow in well-shaded areas.

I live on a property in the Scenic Rim (SEQld) with lots of snakes in the area. I am trying to create a child friendly play area for my very active toddler and new bubba, due next year.

I am hoping that there is something out there that meets my criteria:

-Short, so not to encourage a hiding spot for an nasty snakes
-Thick enough to suffocate out weeds
-Non-toxic to children
-Loves a well-shaded area in summer, more sun in winter (under deciduous trees)
-Soil receives good rainfall, but I am assuming with it being in raised beds, the soil well drained.

I look forward to your response. Fingers crossed there is an answer :o)
