Hi,

I would welcome ideas for very low growing, ground covering
evergreen plants
for a north facing, open plan front garden. At the moment, the
small area is
covered with a layer of stone chippings which I would like to
retain,
growing the plants dotted around with a view to them quickly
covering the
whole area. A camomile lawn has been suggested.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vinca minor (periwinkle) isa low evergreen, spreading plant. It has
white, purple or blue flowers, If you really want to cover the
area,
that will do it well.

I had thought of recommending this one as well. It is as hardy as
nails, spreads well and has dainty flowers. But make sure it is
*minor*. The ordinary periwinkle is probably too large a plant for
your purpose
Isn't it odd. Periwinkle has such a dainty sweet sounding name whereas in
reality major is a thug. It's a bit like calling a rottweiler 'fluffy' :0)
I swear if I ever get a rottie I will call it 'fluffy' hehe.
