The smallest plant category by size is ground cover. The term "ground cover" is used to describe any low or spreading plant material that reaches a maximum height of 6(15 cm) to 12 in(30 cm). Ground cover is found with a variety of characteristics, from flowering to nonflowering and from woody to herbaceous. Examples of ground cover include English ivy(Hedera helix), myrtle(Vinca minor), pachysandra(Pachysandra terminalis), and common ice plant(Carpobrotus edulis).
