Silvery Sunproof Lilyturf
Best low-maintenance groundcover for busy gardeners seeking year-round visual interest.
This evergreen is the ultimate low-effort solution for adding architectural texture to your garden. While you will need to divide the clumps every few years to keep them looking sharp, the trade-off is a heat-tolerant, pest-resistant plant that stays vibrant long after other perennials have faded.
