A green carpet that does more than look good 🌿

Some plants stand out because of their flowers. Others quietly do an important job in the garden.

Groundcover perennials quickly cover the soil, help suppress weeds and bring structure and colour to planting schemes throughout the season. They are practical, reliable and especially useful in borders, woodland gardens and larger landscape projects.

This week, we are putting four of them in the spotlight: Waldsteinia, Vinca, Pachysandra and Potentilla.

A touch of yellow in spring - Waldsteinia ternata

Fresh green foliage, a dense growth habit and bright yellow flowers in spring.
Waldsteinia ternata forms a compact evergreen carpet and performs particularly well in shady and semi-shady locations.

A simple, reliable choice where good soil coverage is just as important as seasonal colour.

One classic, many different looks

Vinca minor

Vinca is probably one of the best-known evergreen groundcovers.

Its vigorous growth, glossy leaves and delicate flowers make it a familiar sight in gardens and landscape planting. But look a little closer and there is much more variation than you might expect.

Our assortment includes:

• Vinca minor ‘Alba’ – fresh green foliage with elegant white flowers.
• Vinca minor ‘Argenteovariegata’ – green foliage finished with a creamy-white margin.
• Vinca minor ‘Atropurpurea’ – a darker selection with striking deep purple-blue flowers.
• Vinca minor ‘Illumination’ – one of the most eye-catching varieties, with bright golden-yellow foliage and a contrasting green margin.
• Vinca minor ‘La Grave’ – vigorous growth, dark green foliage and violet-blue flowers.
• Vinca minor ‘Seng’ – a compact, spreading selection with attractive evergreen foliage.

And for those looking for white flowers, Vinca minor ‘White Power’ produces an abundance of bright white blooms above fresh green foliage. One genus, many different possibilities.

Evergreen structure for shady places - Pachysandra terminalis

For areas with less light, Pachysandra is another dependable option.

Its glossy foliage creates a dense evergreen carpet and provides structure throughout the year.

‘Green Carpet’ is exactly what the name suggests: a reliable, dense-growing variety with fresh green foliage.

‘Green Sheen’ stands out through its particularly glossy, deep green leaves.

And for a brighter effect, ‘Variegata’ combines green foliage with contrasting creamy-white markings.

Something a little different - Potentilla ‘Nuuk’

Not every groundcover needs to create the same look.

Potentilla ‘Nuuk’ has a fresh and natural character, combining compact growth with delicate white flowers.

It is a useful choice for adding a lighter, more informal touch to borders and mass planting.

From green carpets to colourful details

Together, these four genera show just how versatile groundcover perennials can be.

From reliable evergreen foliage and glossy leaves to variegated selections and delicate flowers, there is a suitable option for many different planting situations.
