Ground cover plant below Etoile de Hollande

Ground cover plant below Etoile de Hollande

Question from Shoot User

Hi,
I have a large garden box with Etoile de Hollande growing up a wall at the rear of the box. Please can you recommend ground cover plant. A friend recommended a white ground cover rose (if I do this, any thoughts on variety) - I would welcome any comments / suggestions

    I would not give the competition of another rose. What colour ground cover do you want? There is more than one hardy geranium that might suit if you want white.

    I was out in the garden today and wondered about underplanting with Verbena bonariensis, and something else that is lower - maybe even yellow coreopsis. It depends what effect you want. But V.bonariensis would give you a cloud of purple at 4-6 feet and then you can have whatever colour you like at its feet. It doesn't make very substantial or demanding roots as it is quite a small mass of plant for its height. What do you think?
