Getting to know underrated ground cover plants can prove a real game changer for your yard. Every plot has those less-than-lovely, tricky areas, that could do with greening up, but often we have to realise that our favorite blooms just won’t flourish there or simply look out of place.
That’s precisely where these hardworking, yet often underrated plants come in. While some thrive in dry shade and others adore full sun, they all need very little attention, once established, and can be happily left to do their thing apart from the occasional snip back of spent flower stem or over enthusiastic growth. Many demand little water, once their roots have settled and some can even help stabilise slopes and earth banks or prevent erosion.
