Evergreen Groundcovers

Evergreen groundcovers are low-growing plants that retain their foliage throughout the year, providing continuous coverage and color in the landscape. These plants are used to cover large areas of soil, reduce erosion, and suppress weeds while adding texture and visual interest. Examples include juniper, pachysandra, and creeping phlox. Evergreen groundcovers are particularly valuable in shaded or difficult-to-maintain areas, where they can create a lush, green carpet that requires minimal upkeep. These plants are often used under trees, along slopes, or in foundation plantings. The selection of evergreen groundcovers depends on factors such as light conditions, soil type, and the desired growth rate. Once established, these plants typically require little maintenance beyond occasional pruning or thinning to prevent overgrowth.
