What flowers can be planted as ground cover?
verbena is a very pretty ground cover it come in different colors red ,white, pink ,purple it is a perennial it will spread probably 3 to 4 foot and is a full sun plant I have several of them and love the pretty colors. You can buy them at walmart Lowes or any place like that they usually are in a 2 or 3 gallon pot and run around $6.
Hello, If you need a groundcover in your landscape, such as a slope or other area in your garden, please consider the new groundcover rose variety ‘Flower Carpet Roses’. They bloom with abundance from spring until frost arrives, are low maintenance, do not require deadheading (removing spent blooms) or any other care, except regular watering and an occasional feeding. The Flower Carpet Roses are very beautiful and come in red, pink and white colors. I personally planted them on a difficult to landscape area of my garden, a steep slope, and I have been delighted with the result. The slope is now a showpiece of beautiful low- growing colorful roses that everybody admires. For more information on Flower Carpet Roses, go to the website below.

For low spreading plants I have enjoyed Vinca, Creeping Phlox, Lamium, Lamiastrum, Artemisia, several different Ajugas and also Lily of the Valley. Creeping thyme is pretty and smells wonderful but its flowers are insignificant. Many of these plants do offer silver or other variegations of foliage so they offer interest beyond their blooms. Further south, I understand that Liriope (or Lily Turf) also does well. I have never grown wintergreen but it is pretty and evergreen if your winter’s aren’t too harsh. . Hosta will also cover alot of ground. There are pinks (Dianthus) that willl roam wonderfully and also a Siberian Bellflower ( Campanula) that is very pretty and tough. If you combine several types with differing foliage and flower color and time you can have a constant and very low maintenance display. It can take some time for the groundcovers to establish themselves and it has worked very well for me to intersperse some flowering annuals such as impatiens, nasturtiums or allyssum
