Buy Evergreen Vines Online From a TN Nursery

Evergreen vines keep your yard green after everything else drops its leaves. The trailing evergreens in this collection hug the ground, root as they spread, and knit into a living carpet that holds soil on slopes, crowds out weeds, and fills shady spots where grass won’t grow. TN Nursery has grown and shipped plants from McMinnville, Tennessee, since 1959, so every plant you order comes from a family farm rather than a warehouse. Most are priced at $7.99.

How to Choose an Evergreen Ground Cover Vine

  • What’s your growing zone? Use the zone filter above. Our evergreen vines are hardy from zone 3 or 4 through zone 7 to 9.
  • How much shade do you have? Every plant here grows in part to full shade, which makes them ideal under trees and on north-facing slopes.
  • How fast do you need coverage? Vinca and periwinkle fill in within two seasons. Partridge berry and European ginger spread slowly into neat, low mats.

Native Evergreen Ground Cover for Shade

Partridge Berry is a native evergreen vine that trails across the forest floor. Its small, glossy leaves have white veins, and it carries bright red berries through winter. It stays under 2 inches tall and works well in woodland beds, between stepping stones and in terrariums. Running Cedar is a native evergreen clubmoss that looks like tiny cedar branches spreading across the ground. It needs acidic, shady woodland soil and is slow to establish, so plant it where it won’t be disturbed.

Fast-Spreading Evergreen Vines for Slopes

Vinca Minor and Periwinkle form a dense, glossy evergreen mat with blue-purple flowers in spring. They’re the fastest way to cover a shady bank, hold soil and stop erosion. Both spread aggressively and are considered invasive near woodlands in parts of the eastern US. Plant them where they can be contained by a driveway, wall or mowed edge.

Evergreen Ground Cover With Bold Leaves

European Ginger has thick, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that stay green through winter in most zones. It spreads slowly into a low, tidy clump and suits shady borders and the front of woodland beds.

When Evergreen Vines Ship

We ship evergreen vines bare root, freshly dug and packed ready for planting. Fall and early spring are the best times to plant, so roots settle in before summer heat. Space vinca and periwinkle about 12 inches apart for full coverage in two seasons. See our planting instructions for step-by-step help, or browse all vines and ground cover plants .
