What to plant

Hi all not been around for a while work getting in the way of everything else,my question is im after some ground cover plants for a large section of my border,would like some colour but also plants that can be left in all year round as dont get time to keep on top of the gardening , something that spreads abit have thought about campanulas is there anything else i could use thanks in advance.

 

Geraniums? Wouldn't be without mine and I get a second flush of colour later in the year too. Creeping Jenny can be nice too, but, some people find it a little invasive (but, not my experience, so far!).

 

Thought about Geraniums M are they hardy enough to stay in all year.................

 

This is a clump forming Geranium Michael, some types can be quite invasive putting out runners underground and coming up everywhere. Geraniums are herbaceous perennials, meaning they will die back during winter and re-grow the following year.

Hi Michael,

For early Soring you can't beat Aubrieta ( the purple ) and Alyssum Saxatile ( the gold ).....



and Cerastium Tomentosum...

 

They are perennials (as rightly stated by @Sheal ) and the pink variety that I have has never fully died back in the winter; reduced in size, but not fully died back. Each year it spreads a bit further, but I'm very happy with that.



If you would like a piece, PM me your details and I'll send you a bit to get you started. After all, if you don't like it, there's always "Roundup"
