Another good ground cover that stays fresh-looking is the perennial
geranium.  They come in all shades of pink/purple and vary in height from a
few inches to a few feet tall.  If you cut them back after the initial
spring flush, the foliage will regrow and stay green all summer.

I also like to use mums as a cover.  When they bloom my roses have given up
for the year.  Since the foliage of mums stay nice all summer, it's an
added bonus to see those blooms come fall.  I am particularly fond of the
daisy types (single petalled).
