hill side planting #890061

Asked November 19, 2024, 5:08 PM EST

We have a steep hillside covered with ivy, and "wild cucumber or manroot" We are working on removing this. I was wondering what we could plant instead that is deer resistant and will help hold the hill from erosion

Thank you for your question, Julie.  WSU has two resources with suggestions about plants for this purpose.  https://www.pnwplants.wsu.edu/Groundcovers.aspx
 and https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/2076/2024/07/C057-Groundcovers.pdf

I hope these are helpful.  Good luck!
