As gardeners, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to ground cover plants. From hardy evergreens to fragrant herbs, there is sure to be a species suited to your region, climate and taste. If, however, you are keen on color in your yard, choosing flowering ground cover plants is a good idea, filling borders with vibrant pops of pink or purple, white or yellow.
As a former professional gardener, I have planted and cared for more ground cover plants than I can count - from creeping thyme with pink blooms in gravel gardens to colorful comfrey varieties in shady spots that pollinators adore. Growing flowering ground cover plants, I think, is a surefire way to maximize interest and impact in your yard.
