My favorite ground covers By CATHY WILSON Ground covers are frequently used in borders, garden beds or in place of lawns. They suppress weeds, create lovely areas of color and provide less maintenance for the home owner. Groundcovers generally require less water and chemicals than a lawn. They are basically non fussy plants and are easy to grow. They have become the "new" green for the old green lawns. Many of them are even "walkable" which means they can tolerate light traffic. Many are noted for their flowers particularly in the spring. Some provide such rich texture that they appear as a thick, lush carpet. An excellent example of a choice ground cover for the shade is Lami- um maculatum. I prefer 'White Nancy' for its richly variegated leaves of white and lime green with stunning white flowers. Deep rosey pink, orchid pink or purple flowers can also be selected if preferred. All bloom from spring to midsummer. They are guaranteed to brighten up any dark bed. They can be grown in hanging baskets or planted to spill over in pots. It spreads easily in the ground but is not a rampant grower. It can be removed without any diffi- culty. As a bonus the hairy leaves might even deter deer from eating rity. them. Since it is of the mint family it is simple to propagate. Snip off a stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, dip in root tone, dig a hole and plant. Of course this process is even easier if done during the win- ter rains. Thymus praecox articus or CREEPING THYME is used fre- quently as a ground cover in the sun. It also is part of the mint fami- ly and a favorite of most gardeners. It can tolerate light foot traffic which enhances its fragrance and provides a cushion beneath your feet. There are many varieties to choose from. 'Pink Ripple' has lemon scented leaves and pink flowers. There is even a non- blooming variety called 'Elfin' which is my personal favorite as it mounds as it goes creating different heights. Aside from the creeping thymes are WOOLLY THYMES (T. pseudolanuginosus). The foliage is a soft gray which also spreads in undulating mats with pink flowers in the midsummer. It truly looks like you planted a carpet after matu- When most people hear of Lysi- machia, they usually associate it with Lysimachia mummularia or better known as CREEPING JENNY. 'Aurea' has bright yellow leaves but prefers some afternoon shade in this climate. It also sports yellow flowers and can be planted in pots or hanging baskets. I love Lysimachia punctata 'Golden Alexander' because it's leaves are mottled green with yellow edging and has attractive larger bright yel- low flowers spring through sum- mer. There are two more noteworthy groundcovers that are not found in many gardens which appeal to me. One is Atennaria dioica or 'Pussy Toes'. It does best in full sun and is "walkable". It's particularly great between pavers or in the front of a border. The other is Silene uniflora, a wonderful perennial with enchanting spring flowers resem- bling white pantalets. It's foliage is variegated. It is delicate and needs to be in a space beyond foot traffic.
