Ground cover plants that work well in the dry shade include plants like English ivy and ajula, and bugle. Isotoma and Ajuga chocolate chip are two of the fastest growing of all ground covers.
There are eighteen ground cover plants that will work in dry shade. Some of the names of the plants are bugle, elephant's ear, bear berry, and hart's tongue.
Xerophytes: plants that are adapted to live in very dry climates
It is important to grow foxglove plants in partial shade in a well-drained, acidic soil. Well established foxglove plants will tolerate dry shade. Foxglove plants are susceptible to crown rot (rotting of the stem caused by fungal disease), so provide them with sufficient drainage. In order to avoid other common diseases in foxglove plants, give the plant a lot of space in order to help promote good circulation.Side Note: Foxglove plants are one of the most poisonous plants that are commonly grown. Do not grow them if small children and/or pets spend a significant amount of time in the yard.
Primrose is a shade plant. It thrives best in partial to full shade, as direct sunlight can cause its delicate flowers and foliage to wilt or dry out.
A drought can dry out plants and create dry conditions that increase the likelihood of wildfires. High temperatures, low humidity, and dry vegetation can all contribute to the spread of wildfires.

Mosses like moisture, shade and generally prefer an acidic soil (5.0 - 6.0). Partial to full shade is essential. Hot afternoon sun will destroy a patch of moss in no time. Did you know that moss has no roots? It has little filaments that allow it to take up nutrients, but no true roots, so it will dry out even faster than groundcover plants. So in short, moss gets it's water from it's filaments taking in water from it's surroundings: dew, rain, ground water
A clothes dryer would do the trick quite nicely.
To effectively grow liriope plants in your garden, plant them in well-draining soil with partial shade to full sun exposure. Water them regularly, especially during dry periods, and fertilize them in the spring. Divide the plants every few years to promote healthy growth.

== Some hardwood trees drop sap from their leaves. This acts as a herbicide for smaller plants growing in their shade. An oak, at full maturity can drop 50, 000 gallons of this fluid in a years time and cause white spots on plants like squash, zuchinni, tomatos and other plants.

Excellent ground covers for dry shade include barrenwort (Epimedium spp.), coral bells (Heuchera spp), Japanese sacred lily (Rohdea japonica), pachysandra, lilyturf (Liriope spp), autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) and Japanese sedge (Carex spp). There are many different cultivars of plants designated "spp." For example, the leaves of coral bells come in many different colors -- from greens to burgundies, and blooms from white to pink to red.
