GROUND COVERS <br />Ground covers are plants that spread rapidly and grow dose to the soil level. They are <br />good choices for areas that need erosion control and/or are difficult sites for other types <br />of plants. Ground covers can also replace turf grass in areas that are difficult to main- <br />tain, eliminating the need to mow. It is important to note that some can be very invasive <br />- a characteristic that may or may not be desirable in a ground cover. <br />Ground Covers for SHADY Areas <br />Asarum canadensis Wild Ginger <br />Aster macrophyllus Big Leaf Aster <br />Corpus canadensis Bunch Berry <br />Note: Needs acid soil <br />Galium odoratum Sweet Woodruff <br />Hosta species and cultivars Hosta or Plantain Lily <br />Lamiastrum galeobdolon Lamiastrum <br />Mitchella repens Partridgeberry <br />Note: Needs acid soil <br />Ground Covers for SUNNY Areas <br />Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Bearberry <br />Note: A broadleaf evergreen; prefers acid soil <br />Gaultheria procumbens Wintergreen <br />Note: A broadleaf evergreen; prefers acid soil, grows in partial shade <br />Sedum Sedum <br />Waldsteinia fragarioides Barren Strawberry <br />Note: A broadleaf evergreen <br />10 <br />
