Ground Cover
Ground covers are various low growing plants that spread accross the ground. These plants are perfect for filling in gaps at the frond of a bed, or for taking up space where larger plants don't fit. Taylor's Nursery sells popular ground covers such as Lirope muscari, Ophiopogon japonica, and Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon' (Pictured).
