Full-sun ground covers
Welcome to a radiant selection of full sun ground cover plants, where the resilient Aurinia saxatilis, commonly known as gold dust, thrives alongside the vibrant Persicaria affinis 'Darjeeling Red'. These sun-loving varieties excel in creating lush, low-maintenance carpets that dazzle with color and texture in the brightest of gardens.
Embracing the Sun with Ground Cover Plants
For those who seek to fill their garden spaces with vibrant life, full sun ground cover plants are the ultimate gardening allies. These plants are not just adept at thriving under the beaming sun; they also help suppress weeds, reduce soil erosion, and provide a seamless aesthetic appeal.
Durable and Decorative Varieties
Among the hardiest yet attractive options is Potentilla tridentata 'Nuuk', commonly referred to as the three-tooth cinquefoil. Its resilient nature makes it a formidable choice for sunny spots, where its white blooms add a touch of serenity. Equally impressive is the Festuca gautieri 'Pic Carlet', a tufted grass that offers a textured green landscape throughout the year.
Colorful Carpets for Sunny Spots
For a pop of color, the Phlox subulata 'Atropurpurea' and its cousin, Phlox subulata 'Emerald Cushion Blue' (moss Phlox), are exceptional. These varieties produce a dense mat of vibrant blossoms that transform any garden into a painter's palette. Meanwhile, Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea' provides a contrasting hue with its purplish foliage, creating a rich tapestry when interwoven with other plants.
Evergreen Elegance
Euonymus fortunei var. radicans, widely known as wintercreeper, brings year-round interest with its evergreen leaves, offering a backdrop that complements seasonal blooms. For those desiring a unique texture, Symphytum grandiflorum unfurls its large, hairy leaves, serving as a lush undercoat to brighter flowers.
The Bugle's Call
Rounding out the selection, Ajuga reptans, or bugle, stands out with its glossy leaves and spires of blue flowers. This vigorous spreader fills in gaps swiftly, ensuring that every inch of your sun-drenched garden is covered with life and color.
