What are the best-known and most popular ground cover plants?

Among the most beloved types of ground cover plants are those naturally accustomed to shady environments, such as under the canopy of trees. Classics such as Pachysandra terminalis (Pachysandra terminalis), Vinca minor (Periwinkle), and Waldsteinia ternata (Waltsteinia ternata) are hugely popular due to their ability to quickly form a dense carpet. Ferns and ornamental grasses such as the Carex species are also frequently used. These perennials are not only visually appealing but also fulfill an important ecological role by keeping the soil cool and moist during warm summer months.

The benefits of underplanting?

The biggest advantage of good underplanting is drastically reducing garden maintenance. By completely covering the soil with perennials, weeds simply don't get light and space to grow. Additionally, a green layer protects the roots of your trees and shrubs from drying out and extreme temperature fluctuations. Aesthetically, it creates a 'finished' feeling; the garden looks fuller and more layered. Moreover, this low vegetation offers a safe hiding place for beneficial insects and small garden animals, which directly benefits the biodiversity in your own backyard.

What to look for when buying underplanting?

When buying underplanting, the light requirement of the plant is the most important factor. Is the planting located under a dense evergreen tree or under an open shrub? Choose species specifically labeled as shade or partial shade plants. Additionally, consider the competitive strength of the roots; the undergrowth must be able to survive in soil where the roots of large trees already demand a lot of nutrients and water. Also check if the plant is evergreen, so that you are not faced with bare ground in the winter. At Planten247, we recommend calculating with approximately 7 to 9 plants per square meter for quick coverage.

What types of underplanting are there?

We can subdivide underplanting into different functional groups:

  • Evergreen ground covers: Such as the Hedera helix or Euonymus fortunei, which retain their foliage all year round.
  • Flowering shade plants: Think of the Geranium nodosum or the Tiarella (Foam flower) for extra color in the shade.
  • Ornamental grasses and ferns: Ideal for texture and movement in places where few flowers bloom.
  • Deciduous vigorous growers: Such as the Hosta, which rest in winter but return in spring with beautiful large leaves. come back.

Where do I place my underplanting?

As the name suggests, you place underplanting directly at the base of larger elements in your garden. This could be under a tall beech hedge, around the trunk of a solitary tree, or in those dark corners next to the shed where grass often refuses to grow. When planting under trees, ensure you do not damage the tree's main roots. It is often wise to make small planting holes between the roots and fill them with fresh potting soil to give the new perennials a good start in their competitive environment.

How do I care for my underplanting?

In the initial phase, these perennials need extra attention, especially regarding water. Because trees collect a lot of rainwater with their canopy, not all the water reaches the ground; Extra watering is therefore essential during dry periods. An annual application of organic fertilizer or a layer of compost in the spring helps the underplanting to remain vital. If necessary, prune the edges if the ground covers grow over paths or other borders. Once fully grown, the planting regulates itself and requires minimal care.

Frequently asked questions about underplanting

Does underplanting also grow in deep shade?

Yes, many species in our underplanting collection have been specifically selected for their tolerance of deep shade. Plants such as Luzula sylvatica (Great woodrush) or ferns actually feel at home in places where there is almost no direct sunlight.

Do I need to prepare the soil before planting?

Absolutely. Because the soil under trees is often depleted or very dry, we recommend mixing a generous amount of soil conditioner or compost with the existing soil when planting underplanting. This provides the perennials with the necessary nutrients for rapid rooting.

What are the best evergreen options for under a hedge?

For under a hedge, the Vinca minor and Pachysandra are the absolute top choices. This underplanting remains green all year round and forms a dense mat that prevents leaves and twigs from the hedge from lying on bare soil, which immediately looks much neater.

When is the best time to plant underplanting?

The best time is autumn or early spring. During these periods, the soil is moist and the temperature is mild, allowing the perennials to establish themselves quietly before they have to compete with the tree during the active growing season.
