Since most woody plants tend to take up more room than I have, I do what
many gardeners do -- plant the smaller species.  I really enjoy mixing
woody groundcovers in my perennial beds to provide some interest during
the winter months.

Does anyone have any favorite groundcovers that they use?  Right now
I have the obvious ones -- Cotoneasters and Pachysandra.  There's also
a few Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen) and an Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
(bearberry), and I've been considering some of the Genista and dwarf
Salix (willow) species.

There are a lot more that I'm not listing, but I'd like to find out
what experience people have with these.  Do you have a favorite 
juniper?  What about herbs as ground covers?  I love the way that
Satureja montana (winter savory) looks when in bloom.
