Phlox subulata 'Candy Stripe'Perennial ground covers are one of my favs! For some reason, I allowed English Ivy to be planted in an area, I presumed, could handle this invasive garden selection. Not so much ... But I am working on using it for topiaries this year, so maybe it will redeem itself?
Other ground covers in my gardens:
- Creeping Phlox Phlox subulata (colors: white; hot pink; pink and white stripe; lavender; violet-red; link to photos)
- Ajuga reptans ('Atropurpurea’ dark bronze-purple leaves; ‘Silver Beauty’ gray-green leaves edged with white; and a small leaf variety known as ‘Chocolate chip’)
- Dichondra 'Silver Falls' (new for me)
- 'Moneywort' Lysimachia Nummularia
- Asiatic Jasmine Jasminum (this is supposed to flower, but mine has never flowered ...)
- Vinca major, Vinca minor (Periwinkle) variegated and regular variety
- 'Emerald Gaiety' Euonymus fortunei
- Sedums: reflexum ’Blue Spruce’; Sedum spurium ’Fuldaglut’ (aka Dragons' Breath); Sedum rupestre ’Angelina’; Sedum Selskianum (with these wonderful small yellow star shaped flowers); Sedum album 'France' (White Stonecrop)
- Woolly Thyme Thymus pseudolanuginosus
- Pachysandra Terminalis (new for me this year)
- 'Irish Moss' subulata (new for me this year; currently remains in a pot as I am not sure about where to put it - how it will do, etc.)
- Creeping Raspberry Rubus calycinoides
- Golden Dewdrop Duranta 'Cuban Gold' Flor Celeste
