About Blooming Groundcover Plants

Climbing Hydrangeas

Flowering groundcovers consist of low-growing, spreading plants with notable flowers that grow outward to cover an area of ground. In addition to bringing a brilliant spark of color to your yard, groundcovers are great for protecting soil and stifling weeds.

They make marvelous additions around stepping stones or other landscape features. Some are also known for tolerating less-than-ideal soil and conditions where you’re usual grass won’t grow. That makes them the perfect pick for covering ugly bald spots throughout your yard.

FAQS for Buying Flowering Groundcovers Online

What are flowering groundcovers and why are they useful in landscaping?

Flowering groundcovers are low-growing, spreading plants that produce colorful blooms while covering bare soil. These plants help suppress weeds, reduce erosion, and add visual interest to pathways, slopes, and garden beds, making them a functional and decorative solution for many landscape challenges.

Which flowering groundcovers are best for poor soil or shady areas?

Many flowering groundcovers thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. Varieties like Creeping Jenny, Sweet Woodruff, and certain Honeysuckle vines tolerate shade and poor soil, making them ideal for under trees, along walkways, or in areas where grass struggles to grow.

Can flowering groundcovers be used instead of grass in a lawn?

Yes, flowering groundcovers can be a beautiful and low-maintenance alternative to traditional lawns. Options like Creeping Thyme, Clover, and Periwinkle spread quickly, handle light foot traffic, and provide seasonal blooms that support pollinators while reducing mowing needs.

How do I choose the best flowering groundcover for my USDA zone?

Use Nature Hills' USDA zone filters or the Plant Zone Map to select flowering groundcovers suited to your region. Our collection includes varieties hardy in zones 3 through 11, ensuring there are suitable options for nearly every climate in the U.S.

When is the best time to plant flowering groundcovers?

The best time to plant flowering groundcovers is in early spring or fall, when soil temperatures are moderate and moisture levels are ideal for root development. However, Nature Hills ships plants when conditions are right for your specific USDA zone, so you can order anytime with confidence.
