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.

Plants cant get the water they need from dry or frozen soil. Plants in dry soils develop ways of storing water tubers and fat stems for instance.

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.

== 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.
Xerophytic plants can be planted during dry season.
