Groundcovers

When you look at the ground around your yard, what do you see? If you're one of the more creative gardeners, you're likely to see an eye-catching ground cover. You'll find a striking selection of groundcover plants for sale at Nature Hills Nursery, ranging from the bright and colorful to the more subtle and serene!

Groundcovers consist of low-growing, spreading plants that are dependable, hardworking, and require little maintenance. These drought-tolerant and fast-growing plants are functional for serving as living green carpets across the ground to help stop weeds and control erosion. These types of plants also fill in bare areas in mass, add greenery to the bare ground, and protect the roots of larger plants as mulch would - only prettier!

Vines can do the same, by sprawling and clamoring over the ground, or growing vertically to cover an eyesore of a fence, cover a trellis or arbor, and fill your garden beds with upright color and flowers throughout the growing season!

Many ground-covering plants thrive in dry conditions, so they complement troubled areas in a landscape, border, or hillside. They are the bee's knees for areas where grass won't grow. Better still, flowering groundcovers provide color and attractive foliage, bringing in the pollinators, and adding interest to a garden.

How To Choose Groundcover and Vine Plants

Browse for Groundcover and Vine plants for your Hardiness Zone using our USDA zone filters, then choose sun exposure levels, or narrow the options by color and size. When choosing ground covers for your property, consider the area's growing conditions.

Block Weeds with low-growing flowering groundcovers like Creeping Thyme, Perennial Geranium, Ivy, Vinca (Periwinkle), and more! Do not overlook the woody vines that provide coverage for water erosion areas with steep slopes, or hard-to-mow hillsides.

Some groundcovers have a fast, aggressive spread, like Carpet Sedum or Ice Plants. Many groundcovers can be used to drape over patio containers or window boxes as spillers or tumble down a retaining wall or slope. Clumping, slow-spreading plants, like Ajuga, and Ivy are lovely when grown in large groups.

Some ground covers can tough it out in difficult areas, often competing with trees or shady slopes. Liriope can tolerate sun or shade, is tolerant to heat, humidity, wet soil and drought, and withstands foot traffic!

Here are a few of the highest-rated Groundcover and Vining Plants!

• Evergreen Euonymus climbing and groundcover shrubs
• A broad range of Clematis for height or wide-spreading coverage
