Is that a busy road, I wouldn't think the salt spray would be that bad six feet from the road.

You could try Vinca minor, semi-evergreen groundcover with nice flowers on it.

When I looked at that picture I immediately thought of Siberian Carpet, an evergreen shrub that looks like a juniper. It has better shade tolerance and a softer texture. I don't think it is very salt tolerant.

Glan,

I love ajuga as well, but around here (close to Bridgeport) Ajuga often dies in the winter. Especially 'Burgundy Glow'. How does Ajuga handle the weather on the island.
