Has anyone in north Texas type climate every used regular mondo grass in these type areas as a ground cover? I read that regular mondo grass is shade tolerant and somewhat drought tolerant? I realize ground cover can attract snakes, but these are areas less traveled and are just ugly bare erosion type soil.

Any other ideas for this type area?....it's relatively close to the cabin so I prefer to cover this eye-sore with something....it's a bit to large to cover with river-rock.


I have Mondo grass around my patio but it is in the sun most of the time.
