Easycare groundcover
The term "groundcover" is used to describe plants that are generally low-growing and which have a vigorous spreading growth habit to discourage weeds e.g. periwinkles (Vinca forms).^ They are often used to cover areas round shrubs and trees and to fill awkward spaces. In some cases they can become rampant and overwhelm small compact plants. Fortunately groundcover varieties are generally easy to divide. They can then be replanted in other places as the need arises.
