So pleased to have found your video. Really different choices for ground covers to what I've seen in every other video so this was a pleasant change. Thanks very much 😊

Hi Rosy, thanks for another very helpful video. You mentioned your own garden, I'd love you to do a video of it I'm sure it's amazing!

Watching from Tennessee-realized I probably couldn’t use these plants but watched anyway!

I love Lamium Beacon Silver ..a good doer and I like the flowers . I also use ajuga atropurpurea for a good ground cover too. Also has a nice flower as well as foliage.

Thank you for providing the planting zones in the description. I always wonder how growers come up with the zones because they don’t seem all that accurate to me. For instance, I grow these plants and I’m in Los Angeles zone 10. I also know people in northern California, zone 9, who also grow these plants. I would hate for somebody to not try a plant because they think it won’t work, because the grower defines zones different than what they grow in.

Always useful Rosy. My favorite sun loving ground cover is Lithodora heavenly blue and not bothered by snails and slugs. Will try that lovely Achillea for sure.

I got dry clay soil so I need some tough stuff as groundcover. The golden lysimachia for example does NOT spread in my garden and it's supposed to be tough. It get smothered by grass. What do work are 3 plants : saponaria ocymoides, a beautiful thing that doesn't really spread through rhizomes but forms cushions. Origanum is amazing for anything, and althought the normal plant is a bit dull, the Thumble's Variety cultivar is just amazing with its yellow foliage. And finally, although technically not a groundcover, artemisia ludoviciana is great to run between taller perennials, provided you cut the flowers that appear in summer and make it a bit too tall and leggy. Some cultivars are shorter. If you got even tougher soil, the biggest thug of them all in my climate is cerastium tomentosum. Grey foliage, nice white flowers in may. But it spreads like wildfire, it will cover up your tough spots in a year no problem. You will have nothing but this though.

Very useful video Rosy - the soil in my north facing garden is pretty poor, but hopefully some of these will fill the gaps.

Do you have to dig the ground before planting these? I have a verge by the roadside, with long grass and weeds. I can cut the grass but digging the ground would be very difficult as it’s hard and uneven. If I planted ground cover plants here and there would they take and spread eventually? Or would the grass just come back?

Laminum is invasive in BC Canada. Got tips about ground covers.

Thanks for some very helpful suggestions I have found alpine strawberries to be good for ground cover particularly in gravel and around the boarders / corners in my herb garden
