5 Flowering Groundcovers For Small Coverage Areas

When you only need to cover small areas in your garden or yard, there's no need to choose a groundcover plant that will take over and spread into other areas. Here at GreenwoodNursery.com, we offer a selection of groundcover plants that are best for open areas such as hillsides and hard to grow spaces, plus we have groundcovering plants perfect for fill-ins in the garden or yard.

Here is our recommendations for the 5 best groundcovers for small spaces, edging walkways and container planting: 

     Dwarf Plumbago - a fast growing groundcover that blooms in late summer with blue flowers - deer tolerant
