Groundcovers
Groundcovering plants are the finishing touch to any garden. Taller plant varieties can be bound together by the use of a ground cover, and they are very useful to keep weeds down, making the garden easier to maintain and keep tidy. A huge range of groundcovers is available, including drought hardy succulents, smaller flowering varieties such as the Dwarf Gardenia, and foliage ground covers like the Metallic Palm and Rhoeo.
