What are you using as ground cover?

I'm losing the battle against my neighbor's weed farm (literal weeds like goutweed (Aegopodium podagraria), not even the fun ones) and need some good suggestions for ground cover. I've already planted a ton of geraniums and they're great, but some variation would be nice. I live in Denmark, which means winter temperatures occasionally get down to around -20 oC /-4 oF.

I had no idea they were edible! Now I'm definitely getting some.

I can totally see the clematis getting out of hand now that it actually started growing. It will be interesting to see what happens next year but so far, it looks great. Is your clematis wild type or cultivar?

Seedlings from a cultivar.

I'm pretty sure I killed the parent, but my grounds are a bit large, 17000m^2.
