GROUND COVER PLANTS 
Much publicity has been given this group of plants of late. Some 
make lawn substitutes of variable quality depending on the method 
by which they are set out. In general better results are to be had 
by carefully grading and preparing the ground as you would for a 
lawn. Then set small divisions closer than generally recommended 
to cover the soil as quickly as possible before the soil between has 
a chance to wash away. This prevents the mounding effect so often 
seen in these lawns. 
Ajuga, Carpet Bugle. One of the finest covers for shady places 
where a good water supply can be assured. Leaves make a close 
turf not over 2 inches high. Blue flowers in spring. 
Dichondra repens. Makes a very close lawn surface of tiny round 
green leaves. Best in sunny places where it can be given moderate 
watering. Becomes loose and large in shade. Needs mowing once 
ina while only. Easy to manage. 
English Ivy. Dark green glossy leaves, makes a cover about one 
foot deep. Needs no mowing. Excellent on banks or level areas. 
Mat is too deep to walk over comfortably. Also the variegated form. 
Makes an unusual color contrast. 
Gazania. Greyish tufts of foliage covered by quantities of golden 
or orange and reddish daisies on six-inch stems. Best in hot sun. 
Set plants 6 or 8 inches apart. 
Ivy Geranium. For partial'y shaded or sunny places. Shiny neatly 
shaped leaves and showy flowers in pink, red, white, lavend2r or 
purple. Makes a nice cover for banks. Trailing. 
Helxine, Baby’s Tears. Hardy, close creeper, making an excellent 
quick cover in deep shade with plenty of moisture. Tiny round St. 
Patrick’s Day green leaves. Hardy. 
Mesembryanthemum, Ice Plant. Rapid growing waxy succulent 
plants making excellent covers in dry sunny places. Colorful flowers 
in abundance, often cover the plants and make showy effects. 
Available in different colors, rose-pink, red, orange and yellow. 
Ornamental Strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis. Handsome glossy fo- 
liage, covered in spring with countless white flowers. Hardy and 
attractive, sun or partial shade. 
Trailing Latana. Creeping plant making a mat about one foot deep 
with showy lavender-purple flowers over a long season. Very tough 
and hardy. Should it freeze back it quickly recovers. 
Trailing Rosemary (Rosmarinus lockwoodi). A new creeping form 
of rosemary with deeper green densely set foliage which is crowned 
with large clusters of pale blue flowers. Makes a 6 inch cover and 
especially fine for bulbs, or at the edge of shrubbery. 
St. Augustine Grass. Makes a deep springy turf of coarse leaves. 
Popular because it covers ground quickly and dries very quickly 
after watering or rain. Hardy at both desert and seashore wherever 
freezing is not severe. Must be kept mowed. Flat cut into 2-inch 
squares and planted 3 ft. apart will cover 140 sq. ft. of lawn area.
