Ground covering plants are very useful in almost every garden situation.
They form carpets that suppress weeds; whole carpets of colour will emerge in a season once planted.
They fill in bare spots between shrubs and perennials. They provide useful cover on the ground for birds and other wildlife. Their dense fibrous roots knit together reducing the effects of wind and rain on the soil, preventing erosion on slopes and banks.
