Groundcover Plants

Advertisement

English Ivy Need to soften hard edges or replace the need for so much mulch? Or looking to fill between those spaces between stepping stones or pavers? It's not too late to get a new cover on the ground: ground cover plants. Ranging in height from an inch to four feet, groundcover plants serve several purposes. They not only provide soil cover, but they also slow weed growth and prevent soil from erosion.

For many gardeners, ground cover plants are the best answer to problem areas where too much sun or barely a ray falls, or where too dry or too moist conditions are a turnoff for other greenery.

Ground Cover PlantsThe slew of groundcover offerings - woody or herbaceous; climbing, clumping or running; evergreen or deciduous - in all kinds of colors, textures and fragrances, leaves the door wide open to finding a fit for your landscape or garden's needs.
