Sequoia gave me the idea for this thread by mentioning his search for an evergreen groundcover.

I'm sure we've all seen plants described as evergreen and wondered how they'd really look in winter in our own yards. Here are some photos of groundcovers I rely on to hold down the soil on slopes: having some green to look at is a bonus.

Share any photos you'd like so that people can see how plants look right now in various zones. Define "groundcover" however you wish: ground-huggers, low-growing shrubs, basal perennial foliage, etc.

Photos 1-3 are Pachysandra procumbens (Allegheny Spurge); 4 is Chrysogonum virginianum (Green & Gold); 5 is Antennaria plantaginifolia (Plantain-leaf Pussytoes).
