Groundcovers & Grasses

Pachysandra

Groundcovers and ornamental grasses have earned their place in the garden by endearing gardeners with their easy maintenance, interesting foliage and flexible use.

Groundcovers are great for:

  • Difficult to grow areas like rock gardens and terraced beds.
  • As a “carpet” under and around shrubbery to eliminate mulched or grassy areas.
  • In shady areas that won’t support traditional lawns.

Grasses are great for:

  • Instant impact. Some varieties grow to 6’ in the first season!
  • Adding a foliage element to landscaping beds that differs from flowers and traditional shrubs.
  • Diminishing the need to mow, fertilize or irrigate.
  • Softening hard edges around walkways and along foundations and walls.

Our Featured Grass/Groundcover this month is Pachysandra

A favorite for shady gardens, “Green Carpet” boasts a rich, deep green foliage and compact form for a true carpet-like effect.  When established, this pachysandra quickly spreads and rewards you with white blooms above the new growth in early Spring.

With a spread of 12-24 inches and a height of 6-12 inches, “Green Carpet” is a lovely, maintenance free groundcover and offers a bonus by being deer-resistant.

Add a lush roll of “Green Carpet” to your shade landscape this upcoming season!

Looking for a companion to Green Carpet”?  Try Astible “Fanal” for a bold contrast that thrives in part-to-full shade.
