David, you must have brought some sedum angelina along with you, no? And sweet woodruff? Beyond that, you have friends nearby who would love to share. "A little goes a long way" and quickly too!
Nothing but soggy beds here at the moment. The creek is high.

There are 3 wholesale nurseries in this area (N GA), that specialize in groundcovers and will ship. Classic Groundcovers, Classy Groundcovers & Evergreen Nursery. I have purchased plants from 2 of them over many years and have always received excellent quality plants and service.
Check all of them at Dave's GardenWatchDog.
As wholesale nuseries, the prices aren't posted on their WS's, but a call, fax or email should produce a password that will allow you to view them.
Good luck with your project!

Take a look at Green Mountain Transplants in Maine who ship in flats at very low, wholesale prices. Their service has iimproved immeasurably since they moved to Maine and their flats hold really big plants for the price.

Great to hear you're making progress, David - here's a trick I still use today when large quantities of groundcover are needed, and I want to pay very little, or
usually nothing! Cruise around your area looking for houses for sale - if you see something of interest, march right up to their door and introduce yourself as a fellow gardener and ask if they're leaving the groundcover behind
and would they be willing to let you have some? Some will,
some won't - but you'll never know until you ask. Here in
New Jersey, lots of old farms are being bought up for tract
development; since they will be leveling everything anyway,
I have had several of these farm owners offer me anything
that's in their gardens ! Over the past twenty years, using this recycling technique, I have been able to salvage everything from multiple groundcovers, shrubs,
all manner of perennials (my favorite was a collection of dayliles from a falling-down abandoned farmhouse), and enough free slate to complete a 100 sq. ft. patio in my
backyard. . .it just never hurts to ask. . .

Incidentally, I could send you some aegopodium, if you like - I'm one of the rare nuts that actually like it (and
have learned how to control it!)

Hi Marie, Carl, oldroser, GA-rose! Thanks for all the suggestions. Some of them look great and I already got a password from Classic Groundcovers. I do have some plants to work with, but I am looking for some things to buy in quantity that I can use to cover the ground. I actually kind of like Aegopodium too Carl, but I am not yet sure that I want to unleash it in my garden, though I do have some contained spots where it might be fine.

I am very intrigued Oldroser at Green Mountain Transplants. Their prices ARE great, certainly cheaper than Bluestone if you are buying in quantity. I wonder what your experience is with the quality of the plants. How do they compare to Bluestone?, interms of size and health of the plants? They actually have lots of perennials that I would not generally think of as groundcovers but I would consider ordering in order to get the big masses of plants that I want in some areas.

If you want any Biokovo geranium, let me know, I have plenty to share, can dig some up for you in the spring. Drop me an e-mail through G-Web if you're interested (I'm in W. Bloomfield).

what a great group of people, some even offering their own plants

does my heart good

i love plant nuts!

I have been buying from Mountain transplants for several years. Plants are more developed than Bluestone and have great root system. Big part of my garden is from them. They had some problems when they just moved but even then I ordered flats from them with great results.

What a great group! We just relocated from the mountains near PA to a new house on a small lot at the Jersey shore. The backyard was loam so in the spring we had top soil and mulch brought in, planted four trees that are doing well, and put stone walking paths winding through the area. Unfortunately, our dogs miss the acres they had to run on and run & play in the fenced-in yard, turning the mulch to topsoil and the topsoil is constantly spilling onto the stone walk. I miss my myrtle and was thinking of adding pachasyandra ground cover along the walk as the black rubber divider is not much help to keep the soil off the walk. What do you think? Does anyone have ideas? What type of mulch will handle two large dogs? Any suggestions on how to get myrtle for a good price in NJ?
