Collection: Ground Cover Plants for Sun & Shade

Ground cover plants are an easy way to fill open soil, soften garden edges, cover slopes, and create a cohesive look between larger plants. Our diverse selection includes flowering and foliage groundcovers, succulents, herbs, grasses, and low-growing shrubs suited to a variety of garden conditions, from sunny, dry sites to shady areas with more regular moisture. These versatile plants are especially useful for tricky spots where other plants may struggle, including areas in shade, partial shade, or part sun. Many selections also offer drought tolerance, evergreen foliage, pollinator appeal, or low-maintenance growth. Match each groundcover to your site conditions, light levels, water needs, expected foot traffic, and desired mature spread for the best long-term result.
