GROUNDCOVERS FOR THE SOUTH

Master Gardener Marie Harrison takes readers through a variety of plants that can serve as groundcovers in the American South, ranging from herbs and perennials to shrubs and native plants. There is also a section on what plants to avoid. Each entry gives detailed information on ideal growing conditions for the plant, how to care for it, and different selections within each species. Color photographs and line drawings make identification easy.

The introduction discusses how to select, plant, and maintain groundcovers; binomial nomenclature; and such topics as topics “What is a groundcover?” and “Purposes and Uses of Groundcovers.” It also includes the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to help you select plants appropriate for where you live.

The author’s easygoing style makes the information accessible to gardeners of all levels of experience, from beginners to her fellow Master Gardeners.

Praise for Southern Gardening: “Yes, you and nature can co-exist, thanks to the timely guidance found in Marie Harrison’s new book. She unveils the time-tested successes you, too, can achieve by picking the right plants and then allowing nature to create a balanced landscape.” —Tom MacCubbin, Florida gardener, author, and host of “Better Lawns and Gardens” radio show
