Add dramatic impact to your rock garden by choosing a variety of fast-growing groundcovers with attractive blooms. In this composition, the vivid purple blooms of Aubrieta deltoidea (Rock Cress) offer a lovely contrast to the shining blossoms of Aurinia saxatilis (Basket-of-Gold) or the pure white clusters of Iberis sempervirens (Evergreen Candytuft). They gently flow into each other, covering the stones of this rock garden with a stunning cascade of color.
These evergreen groundcovers are great picks for various reasons. They fill in spaces between rocks quickly. They are deer resistant and drought tolerant. They add year-round interest to the garden. Enjoy!
