My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Looking for a low, long-bloomer for sun or shade

19 years ago

I have several beds, some in full sun and some in full shade. I'm mostly looking for full sun groundcovers that will fill in nicely around things like roses, daylily clumps, rhodies and burning bush.

Want something low, long blooming and not afraid of spreaders.

I've had good luck in shade with sweet woodruff, lamium, archangel, and campanula in sun.

Any suggestions?
