Low growing flowers add charm and colour to garden borders, rockeries, and ground cover areas. As a gardening expert, I recommend these plants for creating neat, attractive spaces with easy maintenance.
Top Low Growing Flowers
Sweet Alyssum produces tiny, fragrant white or purple blooms that spread quickly. Creeping Thyme offers tiny pink flowers and aromatic foliage, perfect for filling gaps between stones.
Lavender can be kept low with pruning and provides beautiful purple flowers and a lovely scent. Sedum varieties are drought-tolerant succulents with colourful flower clusters.
Planting Tips
Choose well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded spot depending on the plant. Space plants closely to create a carpet effect.
Care and Maintenance
Water regularly during dry spells but avoid overwatering. Trim plants after flowering to encourage fresh growth and maintain shape.
Low growing flowers are ideal for adding texture and soft colour near pathways or as borders, making your garden inviting and well-kept.
