Selecting perennial ornamental grasses for your Michigan garden is a great way to add beauty and interest to your landscape.

Groundcovers
Sweet Woodruff If you wish to have more information about groundcovers than we included in the general file on groundcovers, these files go into more detail for individual groundcover plants.

Introduction To Groundcovers
When planted together in large numbers to form a mass that covers the soil, many, many plants can serve as groundcovers. Generally cheaper than turfgrasses to plant and maintain, a wide variety of plants do a better job of keeping soil healthy under trees and shrubs.

Groundcovers and Ferns
While having lots of colorful flowers in the landscape is a desireable goal, there are many plants that are extremely valuable additions to any landscape design and they have either no flowers or their flowers are insignificant.

Caring For Groundcovers
When groundcovers are first planted they need regular watering--an inch of water a week from rain or from a watering can, soaker hose, or drip irrigation --until they become established.
