Ground cover plants - suggestions

for any advice you can give. Kevin. You can grow Ivy as a ground cover, it would be hardy and thick like a carpet and take all sorts of abuse. Vinca might work. Vinca Minor is said to be less invasive than Vinca Major. It has pretty blue flowers. Vinca by Kevin

HELP !!!!!what about ground cover plants- does it work?

ivy, it's a bit of a thug. Vinca (periwinkle) will cover the ground but it will also cover just about everything else, so it's another one to be cautious about. Pulmonaria is pretty and spreads quite easily. Campanulas and aubretias might work. I never by lucky3

Interesting when you talk about weed. In Germany you can buy Yarrow in almost every colour, which is a wonderful native butterfly- and a bee magnet. And Vinca is also sold here as a nice and very effectual ground-cover against weed!. Now that makes by kaycurtis20002000@yahoo.co.uk

Problem soil near sycamore

for beneath the canopy & around the trunk- Ivies (sorry), Lamiums, Vinca, Ajuga, small spring bulbs will grow happily though these until the canopy closes over later in the yr. Cyclamen. Bergenias & Heucheras & some hardy Geraniums will cope too. More plants by Mrs MacGregor
