Ground Cover Plants For Banks
Muehlenbeckia axillaris (Creeping Wire Vine)
Muehlenbeckia axillaris, commonly known as Creeping Wire Vine, is a hardy New Zealand native groundcover with wiry stems and small, dark green leaves. It forms a dense, mat-like spread ideal for covering banks, rockeries, or underplanting. Thriving in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, it tolerates drought, wind, and coastal conditions once established. Its low-growing habit, adaptability, and resilience make it a popular, low-maintenance option for a wide range of garden settings.
Grevillea Gaudichaudii (Grevillea x gaudichaudii)
Grevillea Gaudichaudii, commonly known as Spider Flower, is a hardy and attractive groundcover plant. Attractive, dark green and purple tinted foliage has a lush and fresh appearance and is held on prostrate branches. Showy, spider-like, burgundy-coloured flowers are produced from spring through autumn as it grows to 30 cm tall and 2 m wide. Grevillea Gaudichaudii is commonly used as a groundcover, included in a mixed planting, added to a tropical garden, maintained in a container, or mass planted around larger trees or on a bank. It looks amazing when allowed to cascade over walls and rocks.
