Characteristics and benefits of ground covers
- Minimal maintenance: once established, many require little care and compete well with weeds.
- Lasting beauty: offer a variety of foliage textures (evergreen or deciduous) and often pretty blooms.
- Versatility: excellent for hard-to-reach places, erosion control, or adding interest between paving stones.
- Adaptability: our selection includes varieties for different conditions (sun, shade, dry soil, etc.).
A rich and varied selection
We are proud to offer a beautiful diversity of perennial ground covers. Selection may vary from store to store. Depending on arrivals and the season, you might discover varied treasures, for example:
- Colourful foliage: like Ajuga ('Burgundy Glow', 'Mahogany') or variegated Lamiastrum.
- Charming blooms: Dianthus ('Brillant', 'Artic Fire', 'Flashing Light') or the delicate Asperula odorata (Sweet Woodruff).
- Dense mats: Arenaria verna (Moss Sandwort) or Pachysandra terminalis for shade.
- Good drought tolerance: ideal for rockeries with Sedum ('Angelina', 'Red Carpet'), Sempervivum (Hens and Chicks), or different Thymes ('Albus', 'Coccineus', 'Roseus', Woolly).
- Fast growth: Lysimachia nummularia (Creeping Jenny, golden or green) perfect for cascading or covering ground quickly.
- *(And many other robust and popular varieties!)*
Easy culture and care
Most of these ground covers are simple allies for the gardener!
- Planting: space plants according to their mature width (often indicated on the tag or ask in-store). Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, backfill, and gently firm the soil.
- Soil: well-drained soil is crucial for the majority, especially alpine or rock garden varieties (Sedum, Sempervivum, Thymus, Dianthus, Arenaria).
- Exposure: adapt according to the variety – many love sun, but some prefer part shade (Pachysandra, Lamiastrum, Asperula, Ajuga).
- Watering: water well after planting.
Don't wait! Come explore our wide selection of perennial ground covers directly in-store. It's the ideal way to find the perfect textures and colours to sustainably beautify your garden!
