Groundcovers and Vines

Groundcovers and vines are wonderful spreading up and out! They are among the most low-maintenance plants in the garden. Plant them where grass is hard to grow or hard to mow, and make your life much easier.

Many gardens look bare even though they are filled with plants because all the plants are about the same height. Place trellis where you want more height and grow vines on them. Instant landscaping!

Vines and groundcovers often have unusual foliage color. You can brighten a dark corner of your garden or add a splash of color exactly where you need it when you plant them.

Garden Ideas

Things you can do with vines and groundcovers:

• Cover a ditch or bank with beauty
• Control soil erosion
• Add year-round color
• Add height to desired areas of the garden by growing vines up trellises
• Grow something beautiful in difficult areas, such as under maple trees or on the north wide of your house
• Make a ‘wild garden’ by planting along narrow, winding pathways
• Hide the ugly foundation of your house or garage
• Screen ugly views
