Ground Cover Evergreen, Flowering and Low Maintenance
Groundcover performs several functions in your shade garden. It's great for weed control, blocking out the weeds before they can take hold.
Provide insulation both in Summer and Winter, as well as keeping moisture in around the root system.
One of the most appreciated functions is of course the beauty of an area covered with a nice looking carpet of green textures, sometimes with flowers of varying colors.
Keep in mind that you can use these shade loving plants in smaller areas, as well as in rock gardens.
