Since you have elephant ears and caladiums, I'm assuming it's a shady
location. Even if the area does get some sun, my favorite groundcover is
Lamium 'Beacon Silver'. Frosty white leaves with a green margin developing
pink/purple puffy little flowers in spring and summer. Otherwise, it is
evergreen and forms a beautiful dense mat of leaves through the winter.
Another pretty one is Nancy 'Alba' white flowers or Herman's Pride, which
has jagged edges on the leaves with little yellow flowers. I use Herman
mixed with pansies and ajuga in winter pots for several of my customers.

I also just drew a plan for our subdivision entrance with Lamium as a
groundcover in a full shade area. I'm using Holly Ferns, Palace Purple
Heuchera, Variegated Liriope, Caladiums, Lamium Beacon Silver, Columbine,
Hosta, Japanese Painted Ferns and Carissa Hollies to start. I'm also going
to add Jacob's Ladder and Pulmonaria eventually.

If you do a search on google, you can see many of these plants which might
give you some ideas. Another favorite of mine is black dwarf mondo grass
placed near a Lime colored plant (Coleus or Creeping Jenny). Be careful
with Creeping Jenny - it can be very invasive. It's a fast growing
groundcover that will crawl right through your other plants and into the
grass. It's beautiful, but gets a little too happy for me. I use it in
pots and will use it on a large hill under other perennials. Good luck.

Hi, I have been all over the net and can't find what i picture in my
mind as the perfect thing to put around my pond.

The stone has been moved and set into the dirt, but this gives you an
idea. Ideally what i would like is ground cover that flowers teeny
flowers and is 3-4 inches high at the most to spread around the stones
in front. I have caladiums and elephant ears for the back. If it
attracted bugs, that would be even better.

If you can think of anything, please let me know!
