Evergreen ground cover

In principle, these plants are hardy and grow both in the shade and in the sun, depending on the specific species. The densely interwoven root system of the ground cover is not only very effective against weeds, but at the same time protects and enriches the soil and ensures a balanced garden microworld. Planting is usually done in late summer. The ground cover plants then have enough time to take root before the onset of winter. Chopping is taboo here because it can damage the delicate roots. Weed out small weed plants if they appear in the early stages of ground cover growth. It is advisable to enrich the soil with compost before planting and spread some bark mulch, with horn shavings underneath, between the small ground-covering plants. Usually it is enough to plant about 15 plants per square meter.

Extra tip: For ground cover that is fast growing and stoloniferous, you should expect fewer plants per square meter – more like four to five.
