Product Description

Product Description
Most plants selected for ground cover are by nature low-growing, rampant, spreading things, but the approach presented in this book extends to heathers, conifers, ferns, shrubs, grasses, fruit, vegetables - and even climbers, which will spread enthusiastically if they have nothing to climb up. Ground cover can be used for much more than the suppression of weeds - areas that are difficult to work, such as steep banks, or where little will grow, such as deep shade, can all benefit from a generous planting of the right thing. The author argues that solutions for any site can be found, with results that require little maintenance and are long-lasting and beautiful. A directory of over 1000 plants is included.

3.0 out of 5 stars unfocused, 11 Nov 2006
By Helen "real gardener" (somerset england) - See all my reviews
Although this book discussing a wide range of wonderful garden plants worthy of a place in the garden, it doesnt deal with the subject of ground cover. For instance Aciphylla aurea listed in the herbaceous section forms a dense rosette which doesnt spread and although a good plant doesnt merit inclusion in a ground cover book any more than a cordyline. Anchusa although initally forms a rosette of leaves this has all but disappeared by middle of summer allowing weeds room which is definately also the case for orientle poppies .Any body chosing a book on ground cover is looking for a list of plants that will not only furnish there garden but eliviate the need for weeding and mulching this book contains a list of good plants but not ground cover.
