Use low growing perennial plants such as ivy, pachysandra and vinca as ground covers on slopes and rough ground or in place of high maintenance lawns. Below is a guide to determine the spacing of these plants.
Plant spacing per square foot:
6” apart = 4 plants/sq ft
8” apart = 2.25 plants/sq ft
12” apart = 1 plant/sq ft
For example
One flat of Ivy or Pachysandra (100 cuttings per flat) will cover:
25 sq ft ….. 6” apart
44 sq ft ….. 8” apart
100 sq ft ….. 12” apart
One flat of Vinca (50 peat pots per flat) will cover:
12.5 sq ft ….. 6” apart
22 sq ft ….. 8” apart
50 sq ft …… 12” apart
