Most are tough, water wise and need very little care once established.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>What distinguishes groundcovers is that they are generally low growing spreading plants that cover more ground than compact, upright growing bedding plants.<\/p>\n<p>Groundcovers are mostly associated with spreading leafy plants like Lamium, plectranthus, ajuga, hen and chickens (Chlorophytum), Tradescantia purpurea, and Creeping Jenny ( Lysimachia\u00a0 nummularia Aurea).<\/p>\n<p>But there are also flowering groundcovers that are just as tough and with the added bonus of adding swathes of colour to the garden. They attract bees and butterflies too.<\/p>\n<p>Because of their spreading nature, fewer plants are needed to cover larger areas so it\u2019s easier and more cost effective to use flowering groundcover to make a bold statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give them a good start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because most groundcovers grow in the same place for a few seasons they should be planted in well prepared soil with added compost together with 5:1:5 or 8: 1: 5 organic granular fertiliser and superphosphate or bonemeal.<\/p>\n<p>Water plants two to three times a week until they are established and then reduce watering, depending on their requirements. Less frequent deep watering is preferable, and more economical, than frequent, shallow watering.<\/p>\n<p>Flowering groundcovers will flower more and for longer if given an application of fertiliser once a month during summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for sun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to tough, vygies top the list. The term vygie is a catch-all name for flowering succulent groundcovers like Delosperma, Lampranthus and Mesembryanthemum that are all indigenous.<\/p>\n<p>Delosperma (also known as Ice Plant) is a vigorous, mat-forming, evergreen succulent with a mass of large, daisy-like flowers, with a yellow centre. They flower continuously from early summer to autumn and do best soil that drains well, preferably on the sandy side. Plants don\u2019t like to be waterlogged.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1251950\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1251950\" style=\"width: 744px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1251950 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/caxtondigital.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2023\/10\/Alice-Coetzee-27-10-2023-gardening-low-maintenance-photo-2-744x930.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1251950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delosperma Ocean Sunset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Delosperma Ocean Sunset<\/strong>\u00a0is a hybrid variety with the largest flowers of any Delosperma and produces theses in abundance.
