weed supressing membrane
no idea how long that might be.  If you have perennial weeds such as dandelions, they will take a lot longer to die. They survive underground every winter!  1 month is certainly not long enough, and in my opinion it will never kill an established lawn by Jennifer Deegan

Can anyone help me identify this plant?

is hardy geraniums. They make a good weed-free ground cover, tolerate the conditions, are useful to the bees, and very pretty in season. I would have thought that plenty of other perennials would work too; maybe you have more choice if the small plants by Cumbriafanatic

Steep bank
cover and weed suppressant in one You don't say whether you want shrubs or herbacious perennials. It depends on how tall you want the plants to be. At the risk of pretending that I know what I am talking about, this is a time when invasive plants by MontyDan
