Ground Covers
A ground cover is a plant that is low-growing and forms a dense mat over the surface of the soil. Ground covers may
be herbaceous or woody and some are evergreen even in the Midwest. Ground covers may be used as"living mulch",
for erosion control, to manage weeds, or in areas of a site that are hard to maintain. Turfgrass is one of the mostpopular ground covers, but sometimes it is hard to grow and maintain especially on steep slopes or among protruding
roots of shade trees (seePlanting under Existing Treesin this website). Fortunately, there are many ground covers from
which to choose. Some feature attractive flowers and others are chosen for their texture and foliage color. Other than
turf, most will not tolerate foot traffic and thus are best planted in areas with infrequent traffic.
In the landscape, ground covers provide transition between woody plants and turf, they are good as facer plants in front of woody shrubs, and they
soften edges of hardscape such as sidewalks and driveways. While many ground covers are low maintenance, they should not be considered "no
maintenance". Spread, height, foliage texture and color, soil conditions, light and moisture must all be considerations when selecting a ground cover.
For ground covers suited to shady conditions, see the Colorado State University Extension publication,Ground Covers for Shady Areas.
Because a large number of plants are usually required when establishing a ground cover, the initial cost of installation may be fairly high. Therefore,
proper soil preparation, plant selection, watering and fertilization are especially important during the first few growing seasons. Plants should also be
spaced properly when initially planted to take advantage of the spreading form.
Both native and non-native plant ground covers are available for a variety of site conditions. The University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension
Service has published two excellent references on ground covers as part of their NebGuide online publication.Selecting a Ground Coversteps readers
through considerations when choosing a ground cover. It includes a list of 46 ground covers, their common and botanical names, site requirements,
height/width, flower and foliage color, and comments.Ground Covers: Their Establishment and Maintenanceexplains soil preparation, installation and
maintenance of ground cover plants. For difficult areas, seeGround Covers for Rough Siteswritten by Dr. Mary Meyer and extension educator, Michael Zins,
of the University of Minnesota Department of Horticultural Science. This online publication reviews ground covers that are suitable for inaccessible
areas and areas in which conditions are poor.

FLOWERING ground covers offer the home gardener more than the obvious splash of colour.
Ground covers serve a number of purposes in the garden. As well as filling in vacant spaces, they act as 'living' mulch and are veryhelpful for weed suppression. The following is a list of the best sun-loving ground covers for flowers. Over the next few weeks wewill look at the best native ground covers, ground-covers for foliage, and ground covers for shade.
ARCTOTIS HYBRIDVELDT DAISY, AFRICAN DAISY
-
7/22/2019 Ground Covers
10/80
The new hybrids of these old-fashioned, sun-loving South African plants are well behaved and make excellent ground covers for hotdry spots, banks and road verges. They flower for a very long period from autumn to spring, with brightly coloured daisy-like flowerswith darker centres above a mound of silver or grey-green foliage. Flowers range in colour from bright orange and red, to cream andpink. These low maintenance plants tolerate coastal conditions. They grow to a size measuring 40cm-50cm x 80cm-100cm.
ASTERISCUS MARITI MA 'GOLD COIN' (syn Odontospermum mari timum'Gold Coin')
This very hardy, Mediterranean ground cover is excellent for exposed positions and, as its name suggests, it grows well in coastalsituations. It produces golden yellow daisy-like flowers for an extended time from spring to autumn. Dead heading of old flowerskeeps this plant looking good and encourages the production of more flowers. It requires full sun and well drained soil. Its size is25cm x 50cm.
LANTANA MONTEVIDENSISTRAILING LANTANA
Although there are a number of different lantanas that thrive in our hot, dry climate, the ground cover forms flowers almost non-stop,especially in summer, with heads of tiny lavender, white or golden yellow flowers. As well as growing horizontally, they can also begrown up a fence. Originating in South America, Lantanas are weeds in Queensland and northern NSW, however they do not presentthe same feral potential in South Australia. One plant will grow to about 30cm x 1.5m.
OSTEOSPERMUM FRUTI COSUMTRAILING AFRICAN DAISY, VELDT DAISY
(syn.Dimorphotheca fruticosum) This old-fashioned South African plant is a very useful ground cover for planting in coastalconditions, on road verges and on banks, spreading widely and forming a carpet of cheerful daisy flowers in winter and early spring.Available in white, pink and purple, as well as newer shades of lemon and orange, these daisy-like flowers have darker pink or purplecentres. Although Osteospermum takes root where it touches the ground it is easily removed. Its size is 30cm x 1m plus.
ROSMARINUS SPECIESROSEMARY
There are a number of prostrate and semi-prostrate forms of rosemary that make great ground covers, especially when used to spillover walls or sloping banks or in rockeries. These Mediterranean plants are sun lovers and are easily grown with minimal care andattention, and suit seaside planting. They grow to a size measuring 15cm-50cm x 1.5m.

Crown of ThornsBN: Euphorbia Milii TH: 2 to 5 ft. RG: slow ST: high DT: high FS: year round ZN: 9b thru 11 AS: #1#3 CH: Originally from Madagascar this semi-succulent got its name in biblical times. Supposedly thisplant was used to make the thorny crown for Jesus at the Crucifixion. Red is the most popular but theycome in other dazzling colors like hot pink and yellow. Some varieties are lower growing dwarf types
and all have thorns. They bloom profusely all year round and are very drought tolerant. They prefer fullsun but will do o.k. in partial shade. When pruning, be careful of the milky sap which can irritate theskin and the rest of the plant is toxic if ingested. Most varieties are highly salt tolerant and can handle32 degrees F but some may show damage in a frost.Landscape Photo
Day LilyBN: Hemerocallis Spp. TH: 2 ft. RG: medium ST: high DT: high FS: spring through fall ZN: 5 thru 10bAS: #1 CH: Clumping perennial with grass-like leaves. Splendid orange-yellow blooms that proliferatefrom summer through fall. Flowers rotate to face the sun and equator so positioning in the planting siteis important. Although many colors exist, we typically just stock the Aztec Gold since i t is the best
variety for South Florida. Very cold hardy.Landscape Photo

Fern, Artillery
BN: Pilea Microphylla TH: 12 in. RG: medium ST: low DT: medium FS: n/a ZN: 10b-11 AS: #1 CH:
An herbaceous perennial with delicate, lacy, light green, fern looking leaves. This tender stemmed
plant is not a true fern but one of over 600 in this huge family of shade loving, succulent herbs and
shrubs. Prefers filtered light and should not be overwatered. Sensitive to temperatures below 50
degrees.
Fern, Foxtail
BN:Asparagus Desiflorus Meyeri' TH: 20 in. RG: fast ST: medium DT: medium FS: spring and fall
ZN: 9a thru 11 AS: #1 CH: These are not true ferns since they produce seeds and not spores. Have
pleasing, feathery tufts that come to a point and resemble the shape and texture of a foxtail. Off-
white blooms in summer produce bright red seeds. Multiplies by underground tubers. Is related to
asparagus but is not edible. Tolerates some frost and temperatures in the upper 20's and will recoverfrom damage if not too severe.Landscape Photo
*Fern, Macho
BN: Nephrolepsis Biserrata TH: 2 to 3 ft. RG: medium ST: low DT: low FS: n/a ZN: 10b-11 AS: #1
CH: Named Macho Fern for its large leaves and rapid growth habit. A popular, native fern that can
handle wet feet and likes partial shade. Spreads quickly by underground rhizomes. Most ferns
produce visible spores (a type of reproductive seed) on the underside of the leaf which might be
mistaken as a pest. This plant can reach an overall height of 4 ft. and a spread of 3 ft. so allow plenty
of room in the planting site. Most ferns are tropical and don't like temperatures below 30 degrees.However they are usually planted under a tree canopy which provides necessary shade and some
