GROUND COVER PLANTS
Fill Your Garden with Colour, Texture & Greenery
Ground cover plants are an important part of a well-designed garden, creating a low-growing layer that connects the planting scheme and fills spaces between larger plants.
​
They can cover bare soil, soften garden edges, add colour beneath trees and shrubs, and bring texture to areas where lawn or larger plants may not be practical.
At Doonan Valley Garden Centre, our changing selection includes ground cover plants suited to a range of garden styles and growing conditions. Visit our nursery in Doonan to explore what's currently available.
