Evergreen ground cover

Hi folks
Looking for suggestions for a low growing evergreen that grows and spreads rapidly, I will be planting it on a steep bank in about 8-10 inches of soil with shale underneath , flower would be a preference but not a necessity...

Depends on whether its a sunny or shady location to what will suit best. Also is it a large area. In meters pls

Pachysandra (Japanese Spurge) is everygreen and has nice white flowers too.

Grows about 6-8 inches tall and spreads out fast too.

Nice in my opinion.:)

That's a great plant but requires a degree of shade. It won't appreciate too much sun
