"This place grows a plant!" — that's the most common complaint of gardeners asking for help.

This species is very undemanding in care, and habitats. These stunted plants are all the same, whether rain or Shine. They grow well in all weather conditions.

Groundcover plants have the ability to grow outwards rather than upwards. However, they quickly forms a dense green carpet. This compact cover protects the soil from the penetration of sunlight into the soil, inhibiting the growth of weeds and other unwanted plants.

Another important advantage is protection of the soil from drying out. If the land is in the open, it can lead to soil erosion. If the soil remains moist, the plant roots can easily obtain from the soil nutrients. Moreover, the roots of groundcover plants slightly loosen the topsoil and provide natural habitat for various insects, such as beneficial beetles.

First, many gardeners are sceptical about ground cover plants. "Aesthetically spectacular," this is their common opinion. However, it is not so. They are ideal for combining with other types of plants. If You dream of producing the impression of the plants in Your garden, with the help of various groundcover, you can create varied and beautiful "green pattern". And it may even be that unpopular place Your garden will Shine with a new brilliance and will delight You with each new season.
