Just learnt the name of this ground cover. It is known as Busy Lizzie – nice name.
Busy Lizzie is seasonal sadly, as it disappears although the plants remain dormant with no flowers. It is at this time that they show up again lighting up our ground in bits and pieces as that is how we have planted it. It however kills whatever is there on its way and it has done that to the ‘Herb of Grace’ not named after me, but is the name of that herb that helps improve one’s memory.
We have decided to plant the ‘Herb of Grace’ at a different place so that it stays and does not disappear.

Lovely ground cover, sometimes this type of ground cover adds to a garden.
There are several types but I have just this one.
It has purple flowers that I like!
I only use grass as a ground cover and some shrubs in the corners, and the rest are bonsai in pots on the base.
We have a lawn on the terrace and this ground cover is whimsical – just re appears when it feels like.
Bonsai needs a lot of maintenance I understand.
I think the plant has its own thoughts and wills…
Look what Virily is up to So upset and frustrated. Suddenly our posts are not getting published. Today I think it is the 7th day. I have lost interest. If it stays this way and we are only supposed to read and comment I will be out of here.
I am sure they are trying hard to fix the trouble, but quite wondered why it took too long…
Grace, I have a bunch of grass, that is currently covered with snow and deer poop! That is what fall and winter looks like here!
In your time of discouragement please remember you can earn by responding to comments that others have left on all the posts that you have written. You may notice that others are leaving comments on your posts so the conversations and virils can keep coming in. I am in no way telling anyone what to do. I am however trying to figure out who may need some extra comments to reply to.
I feel like a second class citizen here, where only a few can post and that too for no fault of mine.
If you think virils is only what I am looking for, it is not true.
My neighbor has busy Lizzie. I have only a container garden so ground covers are out. I have just written a post on ground cover lol .
Is it published or it is in the pending list.
Busy Lizzie seems close to Beach Morning Glory that we see in some beaches. Are they the same?
I just searched and see the beach morning glory is not the same as busy lizzie.
Ok. Thanks. But they look a bit similar.
That is lovely. I no longer have a garden.
You do talk about the garden you once had.
The garden I had, had roses and every spring tulips popping up all over the place. Then mostly we used a patch for cucumbers. tomatoes, and potatoes. All other tomatoes and cucumbers grew in our greenhouse and the rest of the garden was just grass because it was pretty big and we just could not do more with it.
Beautiful memories there Sandra.
Yes I do use ground cover, this is nice.
What ground cover do you have?
