I have about a 15' x 4' x2.5'tall meandering and sloping sided hill at one side of a dry ,river rock creek that is shaded by a neighbor's house and fence all morning then the hot Western sun in the afternoons. I have a 6' tall ( mature to 10' ) Japanese Maple tree as well as a 6' tall Black Lace Elderberry 2 years old at each end of the hill with will provide more shade as they grow. I had some wild strawberries planted there, but they decided to expire last winter during a prety hard week long snow and freeze @ 15*. So ... what type of very low growing , perannual, drought tolerant ( just water from the big sprinkler in the sky ) , cold tollerant, and very low maintenance , tough as nails, good looking/ interesting plant would you suggest ?
