Spreading Groundcover Pack

Spreading Groundcover Pack - 32+ Plants per 500 sq.ft. 

Spreading groundcovers are the most affordable lawn alternative out there. These large yet low-growing plants can quickly fill-in big areas and stand up to heat. From blue-green to gold & soft hues in between these plants thrive in settings were conventional lawn was once growing. As long as soil drainage and fertility is mitigated adequately with a light compost treatment and placement of gravel at the bottoms of planting holes (see exceptions below). 

• SUN: Ceanothus 'Yankee Point', Coyote Brush 'Pigeon Point', Manzanita 'Pacific Mist' or 'Emerald Carpet', Buckwheat 'Bruce Dickson'

• SHADE: Manzanita/Bearberry 'Point Reyes', Raspberry 'Emerald Carpet', Hummingbird Sage, Hardy Geranium

• SILVER: Extra low pretty foreground plants: Silver Carpet Daisy (Lessingia), Spreading Sagebrush (Artemisia), Red Buckwheat (Eriogonum rubescens)

These mounding ground covers can be planted in groupings for a clean contemporary look or mixed at random for something more wild. Rebate qualifying and best on drip irrigation. Pair with sages, succulents or trees. 

These plants must be planted on slopes OR in holes with gravel at base unless soil is exceptionally sandy. See this diagram for correcting soil drainage
