Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox makes a great ground cover
If you are looking for a way to make your flower beds a little more interesting, you should try a ground cover plant. They prevent weeds from growing and help to control erosion. They are also an excellent way to make your garden projects look lush and complete.
If you think that the classic green foliage of ivy or sweet flag is not showy enough for your garden, you could always try a flowering ground cover. Flowering ground-covers come in various colors to compliment your garden, and some of them, like Rose Salmon Vigorosa, a creeping rose, can be interesting all by itself.
