Plant database - Ground covers

Ground covers are generally under 1 metre and can be prostrate, dwarf or herbaceous plants. They provide the lower level of the garden, and fill in between the shrubs and trees

Ground covers have many benefits:

• Become a living mulch to protect against water loss and preventing weeds
• Creating habitat for critters
• Creating contrasting textures, colours and forms in the garden
• Providing attractive flowers and foliage
