Description
This wonderful collection of low growing, groundcover perennials is perfect for planting at the front of borders and beneath taller garden plants to completely fill your garden. Not only do they provide year-round foliage interest, and they flower too, and keep weeds at bay by gradually spreading to carpet the ground.
They are all evergreen and flower in blue, pink, yellow and white during spring and summer and are recommended by the RHS as 'Plants for Pollinators', attractive bees and butterflies with their long flowering season.
Simply plant them about 60 cm (2 ft) apart so that they have room to grow and give them a trim after they've finished flowering or in spring to keep their foliage dense and in shape.
