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.
