Tallahassee Groundcover & Ferns

Enhance your Tallahassee landscape with the lush beauty and functionality of groundcovers and ferns. At Dickerson Landscaping, we specialize in selecting and installing plant species that not only add aesthetic appeal but also promote soil health and biodiversity.

Benefits of Groundcovers and Ferns:

• Erosion Control: Groundcovers form a dense mat over the soil, reducing erosion by stabilizing the ground and minimizing runoff.

• Weed Suppression: A well-established groundcover can outcompete weeds, reducing the need for chemical herbicides and manual weeding.

• Moisture Retention: These plants help retain soil moisture by providing shade and reducing evaporation, leading to healthier soil and plants.

• Biodiversity Enhancement: Incorporating native groundcovers and ferns supports local wildlife, including beneficial insects and pollinators.

Recommended Groundcovers for North Florida:

• Beach Sunflower (Helianthus debilis): A native plant that produces cheerful yellow flowers and thrives in sunny locations. It’s drought-tolerant and ideal for sandy soils.

• Asiatic Jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum): An evergreen groundcover known for its dense foliage and ability to thrive in various light conditions, from full sun to shade.

• Perennial Peanut (Arachis glabrata): This low-maintenance groundcover produces attractive yellow flowers and is excellent for erosion control. It’s also drought-tolerant once established.

Recommended Ferns for North Florida:

• Holly Fern (Cyrtomium falcatum): Featuring glossy, dark green fronds, this fern adds a tropical feel to shaded garden areas. It’s known for its resilience and low maintenance.

• Southern Shield Fern (Thelypteris kunthii): A native fern that thrives in the ground, providing lush greenery and spreading to create a natural groundcover.

• Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata): Known for its feathery fronds, this fern does well in the ground in North Florida, adding texture and softness to shaded areas.
