Ground Covering Plants 
Just as their name implies, the following plants are suit- 
able for covering the ground under trees and other places 
where grass won't grow. Although primarily foliage 
plants, some have blooms. Some have roots that spread 
and send up new top growth, some spread by sending 
out trailers that take root, and others merely grow more 
or less prostrate, spreading out as they enlarge to cover 
a greater area of ground each year.
