Ground cover - non-evergreen plants

Simple colourful planting required for a large area? Colourful plants to separate areas of the garden? Non-evergreen ground cover could be the answer for you. Roses are useful^, such as Rosa 'Flower Carpet White' standing around 75cm in height, but thorny plants could be a deterrent. For low-growing plants the choice could run from dwarf but rampageous Campanula poscharskyana, through Ladies Mantle, to Astilbes, Geranium nodosum and autumn flowering anemones for lightly shaded positions. For smaller, sunny areas lively Agastache forms could be considered. If large plants are required, dogwoods such as Cornus alba, reaching around 1.5 metres could be an option. Also, spring bulbs, dormant in summer, but which look fantastic when grown in numbers. It is a question of thinking about your needs before making the commitment.
