Ground cover - sunny slopes

Slopes can be challenging. Awkward to access and work on, the soil is often poor due to erosion and prone to drying out. Planting low growing ground cover will help maintain soil stability and minimise erosion. Choose evergreen easy to care for plants which cope with dry, sunny conditions and reduce the amount of clambering up and down you have to do, to water or tend to.
