Discover how the right mass planting ground cover can transform your outdoor spaces into thriving, weed-free havens without the hassle of frequent mowing or mulching.
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.
Pyrethropsis hosmariensis (Rhodanthemum)
Pyrethropsis hosmariensis (otherwise known as Chrysanthemum hosmariense or Leucanthemum hosmariense) is a shrub that features interesting foliage and flowers. The sliver-green leaves serve as a wonderful backdrop to white, daisy-like flowers produced through summer and autumn. It grows as a low mound to about 30 cm tall and 50 cm. Leucanthemum hosmariense is commonly used in borders, added to mixed plantings, included in cottage gardens, or mass planted as a ground cover.
