Looking for suggestions of flowering perennial plants which will only grow 3-4 inches in height and if possible give a wee bit of ground cover.
It's for around my fathers grave stone. My Mum planted heathers but they are too tall and have caused some discolouration to the stone:o
Thanks

I grow lots of geraniums like these they give excellent ground cover and bees love them. They do occasionally require a bit of a trim

That vinca is lovely, I'll be looking out for that!
I got a job lot of alpines, from Parkers I think, it included sedums, campanulas and rock roses. They would do the job if you wanted a variety of plants.0 -
Thank you all
