Covering Ground

Ever-spreading horizontal forms of evergreen, deciduous shrubs and perennials cover a lot of ground.

Groundcovers

Use groundcovers to accent a stone
path in your yard.

Growing out instead of up, groundcovers add a powerful and purposeful punch to the landscape. They prevent soil erosion, control weeds, define pathways, soften and hide foundations, fill in garden voids, and visually link house, patio, and walk to lawn and garden. The finishing touch for well-groomed gardens and yards, groundcovers fashion panoramas literally spilling over with form, texture, and color. Hundreds of groundcover varieties, chosen for foliage, flowers, or both, flourish in a wide range of planting sites, from sun-baked spots to heavy-shade havens.

Please look at NATIVE plants for your area and don't use invasives. I work for a Conservation Corps and we have been herbiciding invasive Yellow archangel out of our parks. Yellow archangel is classified as a noxious weed here in Seattle. It's nasty stuff!
