This grass has a fine texture and long tufts of leaves that turn from a rich green in summer to gold in the fall. From mid-summer to early fall, prairie dropseed has lovely flowers.<\/p>
Prairie dropseed prefers full sun and is hardy enough to thrive in a wide range of soils. It\u2019s drought tolerant, easily handles dry conditions, and smells like popcorn. Prairie dropseed is also safe for dogs. This plant can make a great groundcover for homeowners who want a unique lawn while still maintaining a turfgrass-like aesthetic, or who need something particularly hardy.<\/p>
Bunchberry<\/h2>

Bunchberry grows low to the ground, about three to six inches on average, and has beautiful green leaves, white flowers, and bright red berries.<\/p>
Bunchberry prefers well-drained soil with an acidic or neutral pH and does best in full sun to partial shade. However, it\u2019s hardy enough to survive a wide range of conditions and is very cold resistant. Bunchberry can be a great ground cover for homeowners with acidic soils that won\u2019t support other plants or who want a ground cover that will stay green in the cold NY winter.<\/p>
Moss Phlox<\/h2>

This plant is native to most of the Eastern United States and Canada. Moss phlox grows beautiful flowers that come in various colors depending on the cultivar. These flowers cover the entire plant when fully grown, but when the flowers are not present, the plant forms long green leaves.<\/p>
Moss phlox likes full to partial sun and well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. The best soil type<\/a> is sandy or gravelly soil. This is a very hardy plant that can stand up to cold, heat, and air pollution and can resist weeds. Moss phlox is suitable for homeowners with sandy or gravelly soil that other ground covers won\u2019t do as well in or who struggle with weeds.<\/p>
Bearberry<\/h2>

This shrub grows low to the ground, under six inches on average, and has small dark green oval-shaped leaves with light pink flowers and small red berries.<\/p>
Bearberry prefers full sun, but can also handle partial sun. It\u2019s extremely cold hardy and can survive even when temperatures drop below freezing for extended periods. Bearberry does well in sandy soils and helps stabilize them to prevent erosion. This ground cover is suitable for homeowners who live in North New York and need something that can survive harsh winters.<\/p>
Woodland Strawberry<\/h2>

It\u2019s very similar to the strawberry plants most are familiar with, with spiky leaves and small white flowers that give way to red fruit.<\/p>
Woodland strawberries grow best in partial sun and moist soil. The fruit it grows is edible, just like regular strawberries, and tastes delicious. They\u2019re a common snack for wildlife, and the plants are very attractive to pollinators, especially bees. This ground cover is great for homeowners looking to add to their food garden or who want to help out their local pollinators.<\/p>
Common Blue Violet<\/h2>

Common blue violet features small dark green leaves with beautiful deep purple flowers. It can grow up to eight inches tall.<\/p>
Common Blue Violet grows best in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun as long as its soil doesn\u2019t dry out. This flower is very beneficial to pollinators and is dog-safe. Despite being a flower, it\u2019s very hardy and resistant to cold and foot traffic, though it\u2019s not very heat tolerant.<\/p>
Common blue violet is a suitable ground cover for homeowners who want to add a touch of color to their landscape or help their local pollinators. It\u2019s also good for shady landscapes that don\u2019t get enough sun to support other ground covers.<\/p>
