Ivy - Duckfoot
Duckfoots have fast growing short internodes and a good self branching habit. The Duckfoot Vine, Hedera Helix, has small, matt, olive green, rounded, fan shaped leaves that look just like little duck feet. A nicely trailing variety that's especially good in baskets. Other uses are for groundcover indoors and terrariums. ... more
Japanese Honeysuckle - Halliana When used as a ground cover, they are about 2 feet tall. Hall's Honeysuckles are a very fast growing plant to 15 to 30 feet. Honeysuckle can be cut nearly to the ground in late winter/early spring when it becomes too big; new shoots emerge and growth resumes in the spring. Capable of covering huge amounts of space in a short time, this vine makes a great ground cover on banks and slopes for erosion control. Honeysuckle enjoys the full sun, but grows and flowers well in partial shade. Be aware that it can be quite invasive. Excellent for screening or to drape over an unsightly wall or wood fence. It is also a reliable, fragrant evergreen vine for a shade arbor. It produces rampant growth capable of engulfing wire or chain-link fences in just a couple of seasons. It has whitish-yellow flowers with a delightful fragrance. |
