Every yard has areas perfect for easy to grow, hardy grasses and ground cover ornamentals. They add textural beauty to sun and shade plantings. Here you will find plants that hug the ground, creep around rocks or add height and fall or winter interest.
For a low growing border plant that is charming and adds unique character you’ll find
Fiber Optic Grass an excellent choice. This plant does in container gardens too, cascading over the edge. Or reap the benefit of fragrance from Variegated Sweet Flag that looks like a grass and becomes a ground cover.
Grasses give your yard textural interest year around that is heightened by beautiful seed heads. For shade loving grass consider
Dwarf Mondo Grass. Grasses that love the sun can be very interesting like frothy
Pink Muhly Grass and graceful Miscanthus grass. For red grass interest you’ll like Red Switch grass for its rich fall burgundy foliage.
Ground covers can be evergreen and can also bring beautiful blooms. Dramatic chocolate leaved Ajuga becomes a sea of bright blue blooms in spring. Ajuga is great for creeping between path stones and among boulders in a wall. Evergreen groundcovers like Ivy and Vinca thrive in areas difficult for other plants. You’ll be surprised at how versatile Dwarf Mondo really is. This charming little hard worker can also be used as a groundcover that is so low growing it makes a great plant in a path.
