would be quick growing yet easy to mantain? Steve C |

Steve C Hi Steve, I find that Tellima and Tolmea make good ground cover, as does Ajuga, Lamium and Vinca. If you've got a lot of ground to cover, consider some of the creeping junipers and Cotoneaster dammerii. Do bear in mind that any quick-growing plant will eventually outgrow its allotted space, when you will need to limit its spread. Also consider underplanting with small bulbs to give you an extra layer of colour and interest. Spider |
