There are hundreds of native groundcovers to choose from, so you can find one for any spot, and your garden will stand out from the crowd. Here are some suggestions to get you started.

Groundcovers are indispensable in the garden. Whether you have a sloping bank to clothe, or a shady area under trees that needs filling, these far-reaching plants have it covered.

Shady dry spots can be challenging, but with the right groundcover plants, those boring bare patches can be transformed into an eye-catching display.

Whether they’re hiding or protecting soil, or bridging gaps in the garden, smaller groundcovers are the quiet little achievers that make a big difference.
